About the Image(s)
The St. Louis Art Museum had an exhibit of these amazing cars. I only had my iPhone so that is what I used (the best camera is the one you have with you!). I took the photo into Photoshop and cropped it, eliminated the background distractions and reflections on the car. I thought of converting it to monochrome because of the range of tones from pure white to pure black. For me, the monochrome version showed the details more and therefore I thought a more interesting photo.

I love this shot of an old Bugatti. The wide-angle lens exaggerates the front fenders so they almost look like wings. The front headlights and horn are perfectly symmetrical and glisten in the light. The B&W treatment works well, too. My only suggestion would be to darken or clone out the backdrop behind the car like you've done with the other background elements. Very nice image!

I like the way you have photographed the Bugatti to illustrate the monster that it is. I think I will try this technique next time we go to a motor museum. I agree with David about cloning out the "Paris 1925" sign which I think is detracting from the car which is the overwhelming subject of the picture but it is a great image nonetheless.
