These vintage cars got attention to many pedestrians around the bridge last weekend. It was hard to get a 'clean' shot without having getting anyone in view. So I have to zoom in tight.

Do they work better in BW or colours??

They all looks awesome. My fav has got to be the last one, so to answer your question- The B&W.

All good Yip - I like #2 the most here. Very nice.

last two are very nifty clean and smart
excellent work

the first one however looks ordinary compared to the rest
probably the dull overcast conditions has something to do with it

Love #3 - it's crispness compelled me to linger and really explore the fine detail - from actually counting the fins to the reflection in the headlight (can I make out the photographer taking the shot ? or just have vivid imagination?)
Love the way you mounted it very complimentary - can also see commercial appeal from prints to greeting cards.
Was this cropped or shot as is ?

I thought the first one was great, but then I saw the other two

. My favourate is the last one - great sharpness and composition.

Awesome stuff.

Yip

#3 for me too. Nice B & W conversion also.

wow, number 2 does it for me, though i think if you converted to sepia, the effect would be better.

Nice shots Yip. I like no. 3 the most but all 3 are good.

Posted: **Tue Mar 20, 2007 10:38 am**

Yip, love 3. Might be worth cloning out the number on the pavement under the car before you print it out

Posted: **Tue Mar 20, 2007 11:05 am**

Yip - #2, simply because it is timeless. It could have been taken in the late30’s

Yip
the last one is special, I love the contrast and crispness of the shot and I think it would look good as a LARGE print on any wall

Thanks all for the generous comments

I too think about printing the last two shots.

They were all shot as is, no cropping applied except for the 'framing' part on PP.

The last one for me as well............nice and sharp all the shots, and cool DOF.

Well done......

Yi-P, I love all 3 shots but especially the B&W conversions.

Well done.

Cheers, Mick

Love the B&W images. Great work.

Number 3 is a stunner. Nicely processed!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments

I like all three.

One think I would like to see would be to make the B&W shots look more grainy. i.e. like they were actually taken when those cars were modern.

Elegant set Yi-P. I also favour #3 and agree with Glen with the gutter number clone out. Perhaps even the dried leaves in the gutter to complete the cleanup before printing. I'm sure the owner would love such a print.
cheers
