Photographer's Note

An old abandoned car, a Dodge car is slowly being taken by nature. I tried to open the door but it would not open. The tires are all flat.The upholstery inside are all cracked and covered with thick dust. The body is the thick gage steel. Another phot is shown in the Workshop.

This is a great shot of this old banger, great light falling onto it, a nice and sharp image, I like the central framing. Best wishes

Andre,
So, did the car start? ;-) Very nice shot of this old "banger". I like the greenish almost sepia tone, which gives a sense of age. Good POV also, with the car looking straight at us, with what look like big sad eyes.....

Hi Andre,
Interesting green colours on this one. Bushes work well as a background. And the old Dodge looks very nice. I just wonder if straigh from the front POV was the best choice. It leaves this a bit static feeling.

Hi Andre,
These old relics are fast becoming extinct, even in the fields. The light is very strong here, but you controlled it quite well. I like this classic frontal view of the Dodge, with even the windshield wiper still intact. The photo nicely captures the desolate surroundings as it is claimed by the natural elements. Well captured.

I like this shot andre. the central comp works, and of course your sharpness is spot on. the only (minor) critique is that it might just be a touch too bright on the left side of the car (try some selective burning?). I think this would look great in a high contrast bw btw.
