    Bugatti

    Forgot to write down the year, but I believe it was 1935. Could be wrong though. Comments/critique welcome.

    Nice angle. Nice car too, of course! Can't think of anything that bothers me on this picture. Must be a good shot then :-)

    Cheers,

    I like it! Those types of closeups that give you the essence of something (in this case, a car) are always intriguing.

    Ray,
    I like this . The perspective, lighting, angle, etc, This is Bugatti coming at you "in your face"Being this is a critique forum, though, if I had to say one thing it would be that I wanted to see slightly more of the car behind that great grill. A tad more DOF. But I do think this is great as is. Good one

    Wow!

    Great Photo Ray...
    Love the lines and the color too! And that angle!
    You have a lot of good compositional elements going here!

    good one

    neat photo! i also like the lines, the angle... and the red badge in front that really draws my attention. i am not sure whether i would want to see more of the car in the background... would be cool to have another shot with more dof (as mentioned below) to compare against this one to see.

    however, i really enjoy looking at it too!

    Thanks everyone for your comments. And gahspidy you're right, it does leave you wanting to see more of the car. That's the effect i was looking for. I'll have to go back to the museum this week and snap a few more pics. This was my favorite car out of all the classics on display.

    not a thing

    I would change...you maximized the ebauty of the vehicle by shooting fromt he angle you chose...you turned a beautiful classic car and represented it in a very classy and striking shot...well done Ray!

    Very nice. *smile*

    This photo is great, I really like the fact that you were trying for an effect and were very successful; when I look at the picture I want to see more of the car, but that is what you wanted and it is what keeps me interested. The reflections on the red emblem are slightly bothersome, but nothing to really worry about. Good job *smile*
