Took this today, not at a car show, out in the parking lot of the mall. Had to crop and do a little burn out some distractions. What do you think?

I like it - a classic shot! but wish the driver had parked with a straight wheel. The red steering wheek and dash are just a tad offputting. Good spot.

I like it; might have made a nice... billboard.

I agree with you on the steering wheel and dash but I had to take the lesser of two evils on that. There was a very distracting dull brown full size van behind the car and you could see it vividly, very distracting. I have save the original and will work on it some more and see if I can get a better look. Thanks for your input.

I thought about that but could not get a proper aspect ratio without having to many distractions and reflections. Thanks for the comments, This is the first I have tried taking pictures of cars. I have a few more [not edited] from different angles that shows the beauty of the car.

Nice vibrant shot, love the chrome. They don't make head turners like that anymore. You need Kylie to chime in here.

OH Yea! Kylie is great a Car photographs [and other photographs as well]. But when she takes a picture of a car, she shines as a photographer. Defiantly has the touch.

Were you guys talking behind my back?? lol Actually - I did see this great shot and commented on it earlier. Thought I had posted here, too, but shows what old age will do to 'ya! These old cars are just an endless source of beauty and grace I think. Thank you both for such kind words towards me; I am still blushing!

edit for my HORRIBLE typing

Personally I don't like the rotation so much in the processed photo. I wonder if it would look better if you rotated it to horizontal.

I believe it is a 1958 Chevrolet Sedan. Nice capture!
Here is an example picture

One last picture of this car. Had to use ps7 to blur the background so the parking lot would not be a distraction. I did not rotate but did do a small crop to take the bumper of another car out of the left side and the roof a another car out of the right side of the picture. Please let me know what your think. I'm trying different PS techniques and need your input. Thanks
