 Just got back from my honeymoon on Cuba, and by chance there is a challenge for old cars! Too bad I took most of the car-pics before the start of this challenge, but this one was deemed good enough for a quick submission.

All editing, including save, done in Lightroom (only crop + basic adjustment sliders). HDR-like effect was accomplished by balancing "fill-light" with "blacks" and "contrast".

I love tailfins! Nice crusty blue. The high overhead sun is not the best for good photos, but I like this in spite of it. Perhaps a little too tight of a crop on the right for my tastes.

Nice setting for the car, my only real knock is that the car seems mushed into the lower right corner, a bit more breathing room down there would have made a much nicer composition.
