    I thnk it's a great subject to take a picture of. You can approach it from so many ways. Not to mention it has sentimental value for you.

    The DOF is a bit too shallow though. I'd like to see the whole car sharp.
    It also looks like your using two different light temps for this shot. The light to the right is more cold (redder) than the left light source.

    Other than that, great capture.

    Cheers,

    Ohhhh nice one Prity Goldfish clap.gif
    The reflection and angle of the car, make it look like it's about to take off.

    I like how you cannot see where the merging of the background and base used for your image.

    Looks like this toy car has been well played with in it's day.

    Nicely captured thumb.gif .. Skippy :D

    That's a great old diecast model of a Porsche mwink.gif . And the reflection is very cool. Any markings indicating the manufacturer? Corgi, Dinky, etc?
