The fact that the people have stopped to look at the car in the rain (one w/o umbrella) really adds a nice subliminal message to this. Without the people this is merely a great shot.
Classic, gorgeous, and really nice to put it in context. Lovely work, my dear! Edit to add I just read through the comments and put me down in the "I love the people there!" category. Not the same shot without 'em.
Beautiful car!! Loves the soft nostalgic tones of this shot. I might suggest cropping a bit off the top of the photo, cause I'm not sure it's necessary. But nice job!!
My favorite of the challenge. Not only is it a classic car, the tones and the setting are evocative of the '50s ... I could definitely see this as a full page ad in LIFE or LOOK magazine. 10
Oooh, tailfins. I'd love to see those come back in style. Nice partial desaturation, and the folksover on the sidewalk looking at the car are a positive thing. The beads of water on the car look like camera noise or some digital artifacts, but that is only due to the 640 pixel size restriction.
Very much like the vintage illustrated ads of the era in style and feel...this is awesome. A real sense of depth and dimension to this as well. The only way to improve this is if the people looked vintage...damn people should learn how to dress properly! BOC, by a long shot!!!
THERE!!! It's about time I see the full car when shooting the oldies. Processing is great and the image is outstanding. Only thing I wish wasn't there was the people in the BG. You should have edited them out of the scene.
Great image of the car itself which looks like it could be taken directly from a magazine from the 50's or 60's. Love the slightly muted colours which help accentuate the 'aged' feeling
Bit of a shame about the people in the background who are a bit distracting and anomalous in terms of the image, but I guess there is not a lot you could do about them
Good move on the desaturating slightly, I'm tossed up on the wiper position, but it's not terminal....the people are a little distracting, but an overall good image.
nice shot and i like the choice of old fashioned shot, to compliment the car. And people somehow look like they all want the car ..hehe. Maybe a wide angle, or lower crop would do better? It looks like there is too much empty space above the people (IMO)
Very effective old-time colouring. I thought this was a model car at first, but they look like realy people in the background. There's a wierd perspective thing going on here. The photo looks fine, but it makes the border and the webpage look skewed.
I love the vintage look and feel here, it's effective yet subtle. The onlookers in umbrellas adds to the "I wanna get that car" sentiment. However, the building in the background looks a bit awkward to me. still an awesome photo though. 9
