interesting take on "destinations". Great color control and shot selection. The way you put this together gives it great feel.

Nice angle and comppsition. I like the subdues colors but the sky is too dull. Don''t know wxactly what could be done about that though.

While I never really liked that painted-on style of postcards/photography, this is an effective use of it. Maybe some more blue in the sky and more grey on the road, but this is well done.

Reminds me of the movie Pleasantville, when colors started appearing in a black and white landscape. Liked the effect, and the cars are beautiful. Nice job of depicting your destination and your title.

The salmon colored car works wonderfully against the background, it really gives a feeling of era. The yellow Chevy kind a kills the era feeling. Hhowever, still a great photo.

Maybe just a little heavy-handed on the desaturation. This would REALLY have worked WELL if totally desaturated and then the cars (only) re-colored.

HEE HEE Love the old cars. Must be in the L.A. area. yep - I see CA license plates. I like the down on the ground perspective. Not that crazy about the desat of the trees, but it does make the cars pop out more.
