My neighbor’s restored model A Ford. His father bought it used back in the 1930’s. After his death a few years later, it sat in a Kansas barn for some 60 years. Last year my neighbor had it shipped here to California and restored it to near mint condition.

This will probably win. Nice shot - good DOF, lovely subject. Building in the distance looks tilted, falling over - or is the shot skewed? Good use of sepia.

I am sure this was technically a difficult thing to do but I don't care for the results. I don't think this technique added anything to the photo but that is probably just personal preference. I like the composition and the clarity.

Beautiful car, and I love the low-contrast background with the high-contrast car. As the car is on the side of the photo, it's a shame it's not driving into your negative space. I think the picture could have benefited from some sharpening. 6

Very nice in every way. I like the sepia tone, which gives the photo a nostalgic effect. I like the DOF you used because it deemphasized the background. Maybe a ribbon?

The angle you use for the shot gives the composition a really nice interest. The depth of field really pushes the car out of the background and makes it pop out of the picture.

Interesting image. Background looks washed out but the auto has good contrast and lighting. Effect works nice. Image cropped nicely.

I'm picky. I try to give only one 10 per challenge, and you've got it with this shot. This would have been a "perfect 10" if the lady didn't have sunglasses on. I think you wouldn't be able to tell the difference in time periods then. Very well done.

I love how the car jumps out from the background...how'd you do that?

Love the atmosphere and tones. The car stands out really well and the composition and angle of view really give the feeling as if it is just managing to roll over the top of the hill. Good fit to theme as well. 10 from me.
