[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Kirkham Cobras are built by a company in Provo, Utah. They are fantastically built machines and definitely grab the eye. This one was part of a charity event I was shooting and I was stunned by it's polished aluminum bodywork!

I used the Cokin gradient filter again to darken the sky, although in this shot I believe it went too far. However, the shot still has that "Top Gear" feel to it (if any of you are familiar with the TV show on the BBC).

It's tough to argue with that historic body style. And who can resist a 427 cubic inch engine ported out of the car through rumbling side pipes?

-Enjoy!

WOW that's awesome the sheen off that car, well photographed, I wonder iof it's faster than a red version :)

Actually I like the effect of the filter, although I don't really see its relevance in this shot: it's all about the car, and you had the opportunity to crop this photo so that nothing but car and concrete were visible.

Very nice car though, good sharpness and colour and textures ... and yeah, I know Top Gear!
