The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival Parade of Classics is one of my favorite photo ops during the year. After the parade, they park all the cars around the Dekalb County Courthouse and along surrounding streets. This shot is of a pair of Auburn Boat Tailed Roadsters - the hood ornament of a green one aligned with a side emblem of a red one. These are incredible automobiles that were guaranteed to be able to surpass 100 mph (each was test driven at more than 100 on surrounding county roads, and had a plaque on the dash giving the name of the tester, and the test speed reached) - and they were built in the mid- to late-30's.

Very cool idea (and cars)! Like the creative use of focus, but I think in this situation having the foreground in focus would be better for the simple reason that the background lady isn't as sharp nor the lines as clear as they could be to make the lady pop, in my opinion of course. I know the inverse of what you have done is more typical, so I applaud your attempt at the a sharp background!
