Last Saturday I was about to leave after another fencing session when I noticed an old car parked not far from mine. I decided it was worth a few shots..

I also felt compelled to do something b/w out of it.
Below are the results:

Enjoy shooting classic cars!

    I like the edits Nik but the 3rd pic you can see your foot and knee in the reflection in the bumper.

    Was too lazy to edit them out:-) Do you think the shot worth this extra cleaning?

    Ohhhhhh nice editing Nik...... I really like those last two shots, they are excellent .... B&W can sometimes give a far better effect than a colour shot.
    This has worked extremely well for you .... Skippy (Australia)

    Great treatment!

    You took a nice car with a cluttered unappealing background, and created a entirely different look, and feel.

    Hi Nik,
    In a word, YES!! That is my favorite shot of the bunch. Just a really cool perspective and nice PP. If it was mine, I'd edit and print!

    A picture is but words to the eyes.
    Comments are always welcome.

    Yea man - very cool shot. The replaced background makes it look like a fancy brochure photo.

    Thank you for your comment, I'll give it more work tonight! The only problem - there are other reflections (trees, and such) on the fenders, they a hard to get rid of. Bumper is easy..
