I was on vacation in Jamaica when the challenge was announced. As I was walking down the road just taking some random pictures, my husband said to me "uh you better turn around and look at what's coming". I did, saw this raised my camera and snapped this shot. I got one shot, this one. Luckily nothing was coming the other way! I had taken other pictures for this challenge, but when I got home and saw this, I knew this would be the one I would enter. I think everybody I know had one of these beauties, it was my first car in '73 and I have it's much older fancier cousin now.

I know what kind of photo you were going for, few things might help..exposure and level your photo seems a little unlevel to me. The houses seem to run up and the ground looks flat. Just my thoughts
This is a good shot. Love the grain, very retro..maybe more 50's than 70's with the black and white..but whatever, good work (it's a bit tilted though).7
the houses in the background are a little too distracting, I think all of the noise really adds a lot to the picture. The only thing I would do different is to make the car stand out more, all the other stuff around it (trees and houses) are a little distracting.
Nicely processed. I would like it a little more if the horizon was level and the car was a little farther into the frame. Beats the heck out of all the pictures of vinyl cover art :-) (7)
maybe it's just personal preferrence but i think the bug would have more emphasis if it was closer to the rule of thirds verticals. like about where that stop sign is.
I like the b/w choice here, fits the challenge as well as suits this image perfectly. Do you think that the image could have been rotated right by 1 deg? Those houses look crooked.
