1974 Cadillac El Dorado convertible. Loved the horns on this baby on display at a local auto body shop. The owner was nice enough to let me take some shots prior to closing.

The low perspective was necessary to minimize the background and draw attention to the horns.

The angle is great!! And also the PP (the colors ans sharpness are nice)!
I just think that there are too much information on the background (the fence, the wires and the red building,,,)

Best hood ornament ever! The angle is great. I just wish this was advanced editing so that the power lines could be taken out. I think that the muted colors sort of give this photograph an old polaroid feel. The quality is much better, of course, than an old polaroid though.

Interesting perspective... but its a little too low. I'd rather see the rest of the car rather than the undercarriage. I'm kind of thinking this was a snapshot where you had no control of the car. The wires and power line and barbed wire fence are distracting. The building on the right is distracting.

My sister and several of her friends moved to LA in the late 80's. For a friend's birthday (he was this quirky guy who wore bowling shoes to a wedding), they had longhorns mounted to his Cadillac. I still laugh whenever I think about the looks he got. Thanks for the memory.
