My neighbors across the street have these yellow iris planted around their mailbox, they look so jolly on a grey rainy day.

Well, the purple ones sure do lead my eye into the comp. I sometimes take a small mag lite w/me, to make a subtle spotlight on white petals. These make a beautiful show as a border, don't they?

Too much PP time for me, I guess. I like the sunbleached look. I would never guess it was a dashboard bobble. "D

Simple & effective. Though if I was so lucky & this was mine, I would try to do something about all the little white bits on the BG color. Congratulations on the new (used) car!

The effect of the fx for me is as if viewing the scene thru very old leaded glass. Like, a small fancy window in the wrought-iron door of a very old crypt. Looking out. [eta] I do enjoy the surprising points of view I find in your work.

Love the story. I'm the same, except w/a camera in my hand I'm brave enuf to talk to almost any stranger, as they usually pay much more attention to 'the photographer' & ignore me completely, just the way I like it. This old car has seen a lot--maybe you got the owner's email addy so you can send him a file. He might have a few friends would would be interested in similar 'old' pics. "D You used just the right camera angle & made great improvements.
