This was a scene from the Street Rod Nationals at Louisville, KY. They claim to have had over 11,000 pre-1949 cars on display and I believe them. It was an awesome sight to see so many beautiful cars in one place.

Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - good
This clearly represents the challenge but the composition just doesn't do much for me. Maybe it's because there doesn't seem to be a focal point. I think a color image would have provided more interest. The subject is very interesting and I think there is a lot of potential here.
Love the light caught on the car - shows how well polished it is. Find the gateway at the back and the tall pole behind it a little distracting. I think the layout isn't quite right but I can't put my finger on it. Sorry!
When I look at this, the vehicle on the right just doesn't seem to belong in the picture. It fits because they are all cars but it interrupts the strong line created by the other cars entering from the left of the frame an that's why it seems out of place. If the car on the right occupied most of the frame and the others were just breifly shown it may work better for me. Possibly shooting vertically instead of horizontally and cutting out the single car but keeping the line of cars and the tree on the left.
I've thought about his photo seeral times since I left your score on monday. It's really very nice. But I think I'd have preferred one or the other focus of the picture. Either the amazing hoods all in a line OR an even closer crop of the incredible curves of the car on the right. It's almost too much for me. (But then, that's me)
This is a really great picture with lots of personality and it meets the challenge really well; I would have scored a 10 but for the slight overexposure of the background skyline. (is that too picky) (9)
i like this shot, the reflections on the fender and hood are great. it is busy though, and even though they are old, they are all restored, which, to me at least, detracts from the goal of this challenge. ~mcmurma Aesthetics...7 Meets Challenge...5 Overall...6
Great composition and focus detail. Are the cars parked on a hill, though? The one on the right is level, the ones on the left are angled down. Good shot overall.
nice one. good angle, sunlight is a little bit too bright. i like how all the vehicles are lined up to the left and then there's the one facing me to the right. the ones to the left all look like they are on a slope though and about to roll into the vehicle on the right. looking at the pole in the background, i think this is your photo. some level adjustment would help with that. -- gr8photos (6)
I don't think anyone would argue with you that these are old cars. But they are in mint condition. The rusted out ones (by other photographers) is a better demonstration of "old." That aside, you took a GREAT picture here.
