Very nice Black & White photography. I like the composition, exposure, sharpness and of course, any car in a photograph is fine with me. Well executed and thanks so much for posting.

The first new car we bought in 1968 was a 2 door Fiat 500, we managed to get 9, well 2 adults and 7 teenagers, into it for a Sunday 100 mile drive, it was a bit squashy in the back but we were all young then and it didn't seem to matter. Of course there was hardly any traffic on the roads back then and health and safety regulations were a loooong way in the future. And of course FIAT's logo probably hadn't been translated into Fix It Again Tomorrow. We sold it about 3 years later but it was still motoring around town years later.

Very nice and is in line with the spirit of that age!

I really like this image a lot!
As for a critique, I'd say if there was a little bit more wiggle room on the edges for the elements of the image (The steeple, the tyre) it would be close to perfect. As it is currently, if you were to print and frame this photo and hang it on the wall, the matte would likely cut off too much of the image! I'd be very happy with this shot. Great stuff.

Thank you very much Vasyl and Gerbermiester, I'm glad you like it.

@Gerbermiester, it is true, the image is very neat, but it was the maximum that allowed me the space and the lens (20mm) Tokina 235: https://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/tokina-af-235-3-5-4-5-20-35mm-version-ii.html

Other than, perhaps, a tad more breathing space for the right front tyre (in an otherwise effective framing), I can't think of anything of substance to improve in this image. This is a beautiful b/w conversion with lots of interesting detail to explore. You coped well with the fairly harsh light. For better appreciation, you might want to post images like that a little bigger?

Nice photo. BW was a good choice. Though i'm curious to see what is going on outside the frame of this photo. Looks like part of the story is missing.

Great vintage European setting for a classic car photograph.
