 Not a big fan of overdone HDR - I tried to use it here in a way that I hope doesn't strike anyone as overdone. Slight shave off of the edges, but original composition largely as you see it here.

taken at a classic car show this past Sunday in the center of town.

Commenting as part of my Team Suck duties...

Nice image, though I think I'd have preferred it in colour. The effect of the chrome may have been lost a little by going to B&W with this, IMO...

Sharp details. Mighty bright. Detail lost in the highlights and shadows, so I'm not sure you gained from HDR on this one.

Is this high-key or low-key? It's got nice elements of both. Why do we try to pigeonhole these things?

AMAZING! Great work, keep it up. Love the chrome. this speaks to me so much more in B&W then it would in color! 7/10
