old cars are not really my normal motive, same with colored bw
but i thought/hoped this photo can take

what do you think, is this too much or just right?

SpecialK · 03-02-2012, 01:53 PM

I think it is just right, though I would never process it that way :-) The vignette adds to the drama.

I agree. I think it is unique and well done.

I do not really see anywhere where I would improve this.

I don't usually MeTo but this photo is just great.

I love everything about it

I think the PP is spot on.

Nice job

Great pix....I have a 10-17 and a K-5...you've inspired me.

iFoto · 03-03-2012, 03:36 AM

great. thank you very much

I will going to get a print of this on the special metallic-look paper
used that already for some other photos and i hope with this color it can give an extra touch on top

Well done!
I'd be tempted to try a bit of darkening the distant light areas of land to the right of the truck .

iFoto · 03-04-2012, 04:23 AM

does it looks better like this?
i've darken the part on the right side

maybe i lost some deep impact by this - i am not shure, what do you think?

I prefer the revised version. I like seeing the extra detail in the background & it doesn't distract from the subject.

joelovotti · 03-04-2012, 08:12 AM

Still like the 1st PP better.

iFoto · 03-06-2012, 04:42 AM

thank you for your help
well i think i will order a large print on metallic of the first version

copied the setting to some more shots from the same location, just to see if i could make a series out of it

and another one i made later on off the same location at sunset
i prefer the original colors with this one - think it looks almost like a movieset
