Vintage - All In Line

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Vintage - All In Line

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. :P

Do they work better in BW or colours??

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

Awesome stuff.

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

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

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

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

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
