Love old classic cars. I isolated the car & blurred the background a bit and had a go at taking out the fence   Posted: 07/18/2024 18:12:17

Miriam accomplished what I was about to suggest. Fence is gone and other distractions removed.   Posted: 07/24/2024 18:03:56

I noticed that in your picture the fence where you had removed that other car where missing. So I tried to do a version, but I am not any good with photoshop. I just tried som adjustments in lightroom. How does this look?
The fence is maybe better all gone, but if not, maybe this is an option?   Posted: 07/19/2024 17:53:54

great vehicle! details in background compete for attention with it. I tried to blur the background and darken it it lightroom classic   Posted: 07/24/2024 15:16:51

The picture presents the vehicle in an interesting and eye-catching way. The vehicle itself is unique and attracts attention. However, the strong lighting in the afternoon created a shadow in some parts of the vehicle, which slightly impairs the quality of the image. A different shooting angle, one that would avoid the shadow, could have enhanced the beauty of the vehicle and presented it in a more positive light.   Posted: 07/24/2024 20:42:11

You are so right. The time of day and the location prevented a better angle and lightning.   Posted: 07/24/2024 21:32:36
