What a classic! They were so huge. I think you could punch up the rust areas even more and maybe select some areas across the hood to brighten, exposing the textures. I like the head-on angle you chose for the image. I can imagine floating along in this and never feeling a bump in the road.   Posted: 09/05/2021 17:12:51

It feels as if the car is laughing at the viewer! I like the symmetrical composition and your cropping, taking the top of the car out of the image. To me, the muted tones are a plus. The trunks help frame the main subject, and I had preferred to have green pine trees also on the right side of the background (but they were not there!). There are many elements to explore here, and one can jump between them for a long time. I like the image a lot.   Posted: 09/10/2021 19:50:31

This wide perspective works very well. Cars can be difficult to capture, and you did a good job.   Posted: 09/22/2021 18:34:28

Agree with Belinda to do brighten up some areas on the car to let it stand out of the image even more and make it more impressive (size wise). Very nice composition and well done with the head-on angle. Seems this month has a theme of cars and machinery mostly ;)   Posted: 09/22/2021 22:53:32

I like your symmetrical composition of the image of this classic Cadillac. The fallen leaves on the car, the tone and colors make the photo compelling. I am not sure if including the roof of the car could make it more 'complete'.   Posted: 09/25/2021 09:56:26
