8 CV

On my way to work I spotted these four Citroen 2CV on a quay. Although running late, I stopped and took a few shots from these lovely and quintessential 60/70s cars.
What were they doin’ there? Waiting to be shipped away? Or was is just a 2 CV club on a day off?
Their bright colours made a nice contrast with the drab harbour surroundings and I took the PP-ing from there.

PCS2 tech: tilted; slightly cropped; contrast, levels, curves & saturation (differentially) adjusted; partly desaturated;; altered the exposure of assorted elements; burned the pavement; ran the Noiseware plugin filter on the cars ; USM-ed; added a frame and saved for the web.

Grapjas !
A combination which is very nice, you already mentioned, the grey surroundings and the pretty colours of the "ducks":-)))) which are very clear, nice pic, Bert !

What a nice shot ! It recalls my first car to me : a blue 2CV with big Peanuts stickers... lol !
I like your composition, the mix colourful cars versus B/W environment. Nice perspective too. Yes, this picture is very pleasant !
TFS Bert,
Martine

Hello Bert !

Great PP here. I tought first this was taken in France. I am surprised to see these oldies in Holland !

Lovely composition. Even if the horizon could be tilted, I like this presentation better.
Bravo!
Robert

I had several 2 CV's; with little kids on holidays in France; dangerous voyages from a modern point of view.
Somehow funny to see them in a row; good to take time and capture some ducks Bert.
Huub

Very very very very nice. Congrats...

Nice shot, Bert! I'm not a big fan of the tilt, but here it works very well, creating a better dynamic to the shot. Good partial de-saturation. A good eye pleaser!

WoW! nice work Bert! multi colors and background is just black and white nice editing.. beautifull angel of taking picture.. perfect picture to share with.
keep it up
Love
Mugush

This is great. Well captured with such an angle. Excellent PP with such vivid colours against the B&W.
Well done.
Toni

love te angle, sometimes I wish I still had mine, very well done, (*_*)

Hi Bert,
Weet je zeker dat deze eenden niet onderweg waren naar Schotland. Op de boot zag ik ook een hoop van deze antieke auto's onderweg naar hun jaarlijkse bijeenkomst. Deze zien er nog erg nieuw uit.
groet Rob

awesome picture and beautiful clarity! the half bw and half color is a very nice touch here. well done!

Amazing partial desaturation and lovely coloured old cars,undoubtely the 2cv cars represent a generation and an hystorical car period that I remember with great pleasure.
TFS
Edie

Jullie noemen ze eendjes en wij noemen ze geiten ! Mooie foto van deze goedbewaarde 2cv. De selectieve desaturatie werkt hier uitstekend.

Marleen

Wow! That is great! I love the high saturation. The tilt and perspective are great. Very nice! JP

beautiful colors on the cars :)
very good PP work to isolate those colors from the rest of the street

i like the tilt in the shot :)

very funny shot, four in a row in a splendid composition and the deaturation partly helped to focus on the cars here ..very nice Bert !!

Heel mooi Bert al die lelijke eendjes...ik bedoel het niet negatief, ben zelf een liehebber va nde 2CV...op een rij en dan de titel 8 CV heel erg origineel.

Jos

It is very funny, but it is a very very good pcture. Good composition!!!

Great shot. I like the angle at which it was taken.
The colours are very nice too, with the B&W background.

Polarizing filter would improve the image by removing the reflections on the cars.

Nice! Looks like Benetton ad.

Hi Bert
Very nice cars. Good colors. Good composition.
Well done. TFS

Kerem

Wow! its great! can't say anything just wow!

Hi Bert,
Fantastic composition and the PP-work is even better. Goes into my fave section. Congrats, tfs. Best regards, László

V.
