What a neat vintage car to capture. At first, without reading your note, however, I didn't recognize the car as being any other than being a moving vehicle. I think it is because you're spanned out with your shot and not focused in on her particular beauty. If this were cropped in more, it would draw your viewer's eye to your intended subject. Otherwise, my eye gets lost and wanders to the outlaying scene that is so vast. I do like the corner accents of the trees branches up in the corner against the sky. Very pretty.

Comment from Casteel
I like the back ground of this picture, although I would prefer to see it cropped down to just to fit a little larger than the car itself. I am not sure about the clarity of this picture either it seems a little bit off.

I agree that the clarity of the picture is poor - it seemed to diminish when i resized it - is there anyway to stop this happening?
Comment from Richard
Great lloking car. I am the car nut so I would have liked to see more of the car's detail. But the overall shot is still nice. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

The moire pattern from the image compression really detracts from this pieces - I see a lot of squarish shapes in the foliage. Overall composition, framing is good, not sure if you meant to get the disembodied tree branches in the shot or not, but they could easily be cropped and not be missed. Cropping would also center the subect of your composition, which I assume is the car, and improve it a bit. Details of the main subject (the car) are lost a bit, but that's probably due to the compression/resizing. I can't tell how good the focus is for the same reason. Not a bad picture, but it doesn't jump out and grab my interest either.

I like this and the title works great, but it leaves me wanting to see more detail and maybe a little closer look at the unique car. At a lower angle the people might show up better against the sky background instead of the busy farm. Great job capturing a moment in time! Good Luck.
