The texture in this is strange, is it HDR? Or something you did in pp? Reminds me of Roger Rabbit.

I don't think I like the Processing, but the BW is very nice.

A classical perspective for a classical car. I like your post processing for the most part, but find that the sharpness of the background makes it a little busy.

Good processing of a classic model.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 04:27:20 PM
The post processing really made this image too busy in my opinion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:13:34 PM
Great car! It needs to be on the road. Take it out and capture it in motion on th open road. The trees and house ruin it for me.

toning works, post processing on the car works really well, for me, (and it's just a personal preference) I would have backed off the processing on the other areas, would have really made the car stand out. jmo

Nice PP here. Love how the care is clean, sharp and stands out against the BG. Very cool image.

Awesome B & W

 03/14/2009 11:40:06 AM
Nice. Is it yours? That B&W just makes it.
The angle is an add.

what a tanker...you can almost hear it slurping!!! love the tones
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:59:06 AM
Masterfully processed. The way it has been presented, nothing looks out of place. and the random elements in the background that ordinaryily would be distracting have become nothing at all.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:47:30 AM
Waaay to over-processed

Very retro. A bit overprocessed for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:49:28 PM
nice editing(nice car too:) but the trees seem overdone. gravel in the driveway stand out nicely.

 03/13/2009 05:39:49 PM
great looking ride
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:18:29 AM
not too keen on this as B&W
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:37:30 PM
Beautiful car and one of my favorites to look at while at car shows. I would love to see it in color though. Personally, I think the contrast between the shiny chrome, new paint and all of the the little details are what makes the car interesting and gives it personality.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:18:04 PM
good PP, this works really well in B&W
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:27:42 PM

What a beauty. They don't have as much style as they used to.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:16:09 AM
well composed shot, but because of your processing the background is a jumbled mess that is very distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:58:49 PM
Great looking car, nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:54:21 PM
Hmm.... An interesting subject, but the jury is out on the processing. It's very HDR looking, but I'm not sure if it works or not. It gives a bit of a campy feel, which I'm not sure if you were necessarily going for.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:44:27 PM
Very cool. almost gives a 3D feeling.

very cool processing... Lucisart??? topaz adjust??
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:46:21 PM
A little over processed but I love the composition and the subject.
