Long lasting engineering, a photo from La Habana, West

Photographer's Note

Walking around in the streets of Havana, one can see many of these pre-revolution american cars. These cars are proof of elegant, simple and long-lasting engineering as well as cuban ingenuity in keeping them running. Havana is timeless and charming.

Orignal was color.

Very good shot, Marcelo, and very Cuban! I like it a lot. I might increase the contrast a bit in the foreground, to bring out the shiny quality of this old Chevrolet. The POV is great!

Olá Marcelo,
Muito boa composiçăo. O velho automóvel ao lado de uma porta em ruínas e no canto superior esquerdo, casas antigas. Boa definiçăo e contraste no objeto principal. A escolha só poderia ser B&W. Parabéns.
Saludos
Leonor

I have been there and walked the same streets. Your POV is excellent and the end product converted to B&W gives an impression of the era of the car.
Regards COlin

That picture translates the idea I have about Cuba. The other one of the beach and the coconut trees is also another version of Cuba. But I prefer that decadent and pride version of Cuba.
Nice shot.
