 I wanted this shot to appear to be from before 1940, avoiding anything modern in the picture. Not sure when steel siding came into use, and the fence looks a little too perfect for wood. The car is beautifully restored, and was a participant in this year's Muddy River Run.

Critique Club feedback:

I have to laugh and admit that as soon as I saw this I thought to myself 'looks like one of dtremain's images' before even seeing the name below it.

I think the tones work well with the subject and certainly acheive the sort of look you were going for. Obviously a straight-on shot of a car is not going to fare as well in a free study as other subjects, simply from lack of excitement. This is nice for what it is, however.

Thanks!

Beautiful old car and with the sepia it makes a very nostalgic photo.

Nice shot, and good crop. The overall color tone is nice. I think I would like to see brighter highlights.

Way too flat contrast wise for my taste.
