FC: Right on. I think we are spoilt by photos taken by the pros at car shows where the car is brought out to the photographer in an area without any distractions/reflections. This car is not reserved for shows, the owner drives it around in the city. I shot it in its typical surroundings. However I would love to pose it in a different location without all the distractions. He also drives a big 58 Caddy with enormous fins but that is usually parked in his carport.

Neat car. Things that could be better are cleaner background, less contrasty lighting, less distracting reflections on the left side of the car. A closeup of a portion of the car might have minimized these issues.

Thanks for all the comments and all the valid pointers. I've found it almost impossible to shoot these classic cars without distracting backgrounds/reflections even when they are in a show setting. As Amberbug says - I found it on the street and it was mine :-)

As noted I did try to reduce the impact of the background. The cloning included removing the licence plate to prevent you knowing the location. I also repaired the road surface, cut the grass, drove away a red car in the background, defaced the Walmart sign in the shopping centre, tore down a light post that was sticking out of the roof of the car, repaired the roof shingles on the house and removed a no parking sign which may prevent the issuance of parking tickets. My case for pp vandalism comes up in court next month :-)))

I like it very much. Well composed, that old car is really pastel colored.
In my favorites.

Nice find in the pastel color. While I might have preferred a shot that focused on details (grille, hood ornament, etc.) along with the color, an overall view like this could work, too, but the modern vehicle reflections in the side aren't helping.

Nice capture. I would have like it better if you processed the background to be more out of focus or darkened, so that the car was more weighted.

Great color and to find it by itself on a street - is it yours. ~ Amberbug

Nice shot of this pastel coloured car. I think the background is a bit distracting. Perhaps shooting from a different side, or closer up?
