I'd have cropped out the modern buildings in the background.

| 5 - I like this shot and think you met the Challenge (mostly, see further notes), in the respect that a shot of this put into a time capsule would depict the era ('automobile') for future generations. Criticism; firstly, the buildings in the background, I really wish you cropped that out or better, had a sharper, perhaps even ground level angle here. The gentleman behind the wheel adds to the character too and whilst the coloring of the vehicle is good and seemingly authentic, sepia might have added something, but not sure on that. Also with those white tires etc, again, a different angle, even closer, to 'show them off', would have made this a better photograph in my opinion. To really nitpick I guess the bitumen 'path' wasn't around then(?), so maybe parking on the grass (risky I know), but it is a classic car and apt for the Challenge. If only those buildings didnt bring me back to 'present day' when I view this shot. |

| Shame about the buildings... If taken around an older area, or rural farm, this would have been a corker!! |

| Unfortunately, the background clashes with the subject year :( |

| I would have tried to keep the more modern looking buildings out of the shot. |

| I have to wonder if those building in the background were there in 1931 - better to crop them out. |

| Nice crisp clean picture. The buildings in the backgroud are not representive of the time period you are capturing. I like this picture in color tho. IMO it works. |

| I think a tighter framing could strengthen the presentation of this very nice subject. |

| i think this would have been more effective in black and white and with a tighter crop to get rid of the skyscrapers in the background |

| I was sold on the car but then I noticed the very un-1930's high rise buildings in the background! |

| It's too bad you couldn't get this shot without the modern buildings in the background. Maybe a tighter crop would have worked? |

| Lovely old car.. I like that the owner is sitting inside. I think this would have worked way better as a black+white or duotone, with the buildings in the background cropped out. |

| I really like the car and find it fits with the challenge. I really would have liked to have had you crop out the apartment buildings and the bright sky portion. It would have concentrated our attention to the car and not conflicted the era with the modern looking high rises. |

Beautiful car! Crop out the high rises and the time frame might look more accurate.
Nice shot otherwise. |

| Buildings in the back and colour kill the 1930's feel. |

| Nice car! I wish you took a close up artistic shot without the modern background. I also recommend looking at this beauty in black/white too....that might be nice. Congrats. |
