***More views of the car in WS!!

Taken last year at a Pizza Parlour, I had to black the BG out because it was SO obnoxious! But the Car was oh so fine! For my friend Phil, who usually has a rough time this time of year! This one is for you buddy!!
Hope this next year brings you much happiness!
B-)
I think this is a 1957 Chevy. Not sure, does anyone know??

Hi Linda

I'm just waiting for a 'little red corvette' a la the old 'Prince' song. Good sharpness, color, & graphism; & an excellent entry in the 'red' theme. Tfs!

Great classic car. Reminds me of the one my great-grandmother used to drive. She loved the red cars.

excellent PP work linda :)
the back ground and floor comes together very well
the car is beautiful, it stand out very well

would be perfect if we could see it from the front as well :)

Hello Linda
that is one SWEET ride! I love the BW floor it makes the nice color stand out so... Wonderful idea for the theme!

Tricia

What a lovely car on a nice B&W checker floor. Lovely perspective with your POV. Exposure is well managed. I can see a Van Gogh style of strokes in the background :)
TFS,
Freddie :)

Hello Linda,

I'm not sure what type of car it is but that doesn't really matter! You have done some good pp work on this and created a well composed shot! The chequerboard floor and plain black b/g make a super 'sandwich' within which to place a beautiful red filling!
I like it very much! A good inclusion for the theme!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Linda,
Great contribution to the theme, this wonderful "lady" :-) Great car, excellent capture. The circumstances were not that easy to get a nice shot, but you managed it well! The reflections on the Chevy are fine and add a lot of detail Excellent PP-work with the BG, job well done my dear Calamity :-)

What a great vintage car! I love the old Chevrolet. The black bg does bring out the red color. Excellent composition.

Excellent PP work Linda. 57 I reckon too, I remember seeing these down this way when I was a kid. Nicely composed, good detail and a worthy submission. TFS,

Many thanks for your comment on ‘RED Bottlebrush’

Hi Linda,
Beautitful car,beautiful photo.Excellent.
Best regards,
Ralf

definitely a classic Linda! love it!!!

hi linda, great shot, awesome looking capture of this classic, i believe its a 57' but it may be older as the roundness to it makes me think maybe its older, now i want to know!!!! i will scroll below maybe someones knows!
good shot, take care, thanks scott,
back for pts:)

the idea and sharpness is ok
but i think it needs a little more space around the car

Ohhh yuh, this was thee car. It was before my time but have always loved and appreciated them. I used to do alot of modeling when I was young and getting one of the '57 Chevy was always a treat...it got the most attention and put together the best lol.
Loads of reflections here but that's what makes it pop...shooting angle looks fine, focus looks top notch. The checkered floor fit's in so well with this time era. Good work in Blacking out the bg Linda.

Lyndon

Very pretty and shiney chevy. I love the angle and the checkered floor
well done,
Shelby

Wow, this Cherry Red Chevy reminds me the encouraging notes of Phil. I also hope and pray that he will have a good year.

Beauiful shot of a classical car. Nicely placed range finder in which butt of the Chevy is looking sexy. Kewllll.
