I think this is a great shot. The building in the background looks like a period chrome diner (eatery) to me, and I love how you matched the color of the text to that of the car. The driver is just a great plus.

Oh yeah.

although your thought of placing the car in fron of a 60s diner is good, the overall impression is with little impact. This is about the angle an adult would look at the scene.

I LOVE the guy driving! I wish you had used a polarizer to remove the reflection on the window so he would have stood out more! A bit shallower depth of field, just enough to put a slight blur on the background, would have made him stand out more too.

Appears very Snot-shotish to me. This car on the road with a blurred background could have been good. Having the background it currently does adds distraction to the image, as the background is too in focus. The building adds little to the photo or the story, so shooting with the clear space would have been much better

"... because that's what ZZ Top drives." LOL
Nice job.

a sweet ride - i love the guy behind the wheel - has he been in the car since it was made?

the image itself has a bit of that 1950's early 1960's advert look - placing the car in a familiar spot with people in the car

a nice job overall
