I found this old car in the town where I live and thought it was in excellent condition. It was a very pretty dark purple, but I decided to show it in b&w. Wishing Linda a speedy recovery and a Happy Birthday to Refugee!

Great shot Karen, and perfect classic B/W treatment.
Excellent sharpness all the way around.
Perfect placement of the car in the frame.
Excellent work.

Thanks Karen for the good wishes and prayers you have sent my way! Hey, this looks just like the old car my Daddy had before he upgraded to one of those new fangled power brake cars! HA! Really it's in great shape but it won't be long sitting in those weeds! Love this in BW too!

Weird... you show an old car and associate that with Linda & David, Karen ?
ROFL.
A nice car it is, shown from a good angle too. B&W was a good choice, it fits the age of the car perfectly.

dear Karen,
a very impressive image of the wonderful old car...in the grass field. its body condition looks fine and shining (original dark purple color is imaginative in my eyes). in my feeling it rests there now but it has a power to run more enough. because it looks like one of the characters in the "Cars", Disney's movie.
thank you,
Akihisa

The grass seems to be growing around it, but it looks in very good condition. Nice and shiny and clean too. (Cleaner than mine right now!!)
It's good to see

Hi Karen,
B&W treatment is just perfect here to compliment the old car ... very striking. The tonal range and contrast is also very good ... and so as the image clarity. Excellent work! tfs and have a nice weekend.

Thanks for the wonderful critique on "F/T 3 in 1".

Karen Hi;
This is excellent. B/W is just perfect, the composition looks like it was taken when the auto was new. Congratulations, very very well done.

Good idea showing this old car as not only does it look in good condition but nothing beats B&W to convey the atmosphere here , sitting there fixed in time in tall grass under some interesting clouds.Purple ? nah !
TFS,
Carol
