Date: Aug 30, 2005
Aperture: f2.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/50 sec
Date Uploaded: Aug 30, 2005

 Unfortunately the window in back of our car doesn't go down all the way and it hurt like heck against my legs...remote operation of camera on tripod after many different attempts to get a good angle,some of later shots had lines on my legs everywhere from window and were unusable..I know there are blown highlights on the legs, but I'm certain that there will be reminders by many voters! rotated image 10 degrees, cropped, levels, sharpen edges, converted to b&w.

Thanks for the comments, I tried to give it an old time feel and some of you saw that, so that makes me happy...sorry about the trees for the tree complainers but it's better to go parking in the woods.

This got a bad rap. You should have placed higher. Love the shot.

Interesting. I think I would've like the picture in color though.

Good DOF, contrast, textures, and composition. I'd have liked to see the pose slightly changed with the feet crossed, but that's kinda nitpicking. 9

Any picture which makes me ask "What's going on here? I want to know more." generally works for me! 8, but I still want to know more...

With the shoes and the black and white, it reminds me of something from the 40's. It has whimsy and the lighting and composition are good.

Nice shot. It's a pitty modern cars doesn't allow the glass to go totally inside the rear doors...

Cute. I think there's a potential for great impact from this shot that's not fully realised here yet 5

Fun. I like the free-living mood of this, though would have preferred the shot from an angle. 7

This is an okay photo. What I don't like about this photo is that the background is really distracting..
 08/31/2005 08:03:00 PM

Hahaha... I like it. Just a few tips.. Watch the contrast on the black and white. This is a great, sharp picture, but it may have worked better in color because the greenry would set the black shoes and car off, instead of fading in.

Possible variation: Beat up sneakers in feet hanging lazily out window. :)

Keep up the great work!
