Dynamite. Dots across the top.

Love the tones here. Hard to resist shooting these old cars.

fluffyjenn said 827 days ago:

That's a brilliant green. I wish the photo didn't fade into darkness so much, but I'm in love with that color.

eggplant said 827 days ago:

Beautiful composition and lighting.

jlencion said 827 days ago:

This is a good shot, but the midtones in the bumper in the middle-left of the frame seem a bit weird for some reason. Also, the black fade on the left feels a bit strange, like it was maybe done in photoshop.

But still, this shot has some cool elements. I like the different shapes on the car.

Lean, Green Machine! Beautiful.

agi said 826 days ago:

I honestly think that the left side shouldn't be darkened so much. It would have been nice to see most of the front as it would have added much more to the photo.

I like the monochrome and the composition that makes it look like a shark (or something) coming at tou.

noushin said 826 days ago:

Excellent composition and color. I don't mind the left side being darker, it adds more impact to the right.

Thanks guys! Thanks for the feedback. I tend to agree with the negative fade comments, butIMO, it was needed. The original composition kinda sucked on the left side. I didnt have a wide enough lens at the time, and I wanted that headlight, so I figured I'd play with the ugly left cut-off after the shot. So I added the fade in PS as a gradient (I think). I think the fade would have worked better, if I had more room on the left. Maybe I should have added some canvas space, and eased the fade to black a bit. I also wished I had left the enblem in the middle of the front hood out of the fade. jlencion - thanks - I hadnt noticed the bumper problem. If I could do it agin, I'd still emphasis the right headlight, but I would capture and leave in the whole car front, although still de-emphasized with a mellower fade, or blur. Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated!!!
