20th century Jaguar

Spotted at a local car show a few years ago.  OK, a LOT of years ago.  Best, LM.

Eye-catching photo just like the leaping Jaguar it self, looks very clear and very beautiful. The tone transition and the softness between black and white are amazing. Best regards

To compensate for a less photographically productive lifestyle in this cold winter weather I often go to my archives for worthwhile material to post.  Sometimes I get lucky and actually find some. :-)  The original was a Kodachrome slide taken at a local auto show.  I thought it had some merit especially when converted to B&W.  I like the reflection patterns in the chrome.  Best, LM.

Certainly winter in Canada is something hard even though i like the snowy weather. But this cold weather seems that it would be something useful for us to see more of your old works.

Today I have uploaded photo (-15° ) which I have captured in Quebec when the temp. about -15°. Best regards

really! wonderful idea and composition. love it. compliments -koushik

Thanks for stopping by.  Good to hear from you again.  Best, LM.

Your shoe boxes....have a lot of treasure. This is  a very nice B/W. The winding/wavy lines inside the jaguar and the  outside lines of the figure are  presenting a beautiful movement. The lower line under him creates a nice triangular that enhances the feeling of the "jump".

I take the opportunity to wish you and your family a happy coming new year !

The old shoebox is turning out to be a bit of a cornucopia. I still have a few left and will be going over them this winter.  From the looks of the snow outside my house it's going to be a long one and doesn't officially start for a few days yet.  No wonder the Jaguar is an expensive car, even the hood ornament is a work of art.  I wonder if it would fit on my Honda Civic.  Hmmmmm..........   It would probably add about 50%  to it's value at least.  :-)   Best wishes for the coming new year to you as well.  Best LM.

hi LEN.. YOU MADE MY DAY. I AM A CAR LOVER AND THIS SAYS IT ALL EVEN WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE CAR ITSELF. B T W. I HAVENT SEEN THIS SYMBOL ON ANY OF THE NEW JAGS.. PITY.. TAKE CARE AND ALL THE BEST TO YOU LEN.. SAMME

Would probably raise the price of the car a few hundred dollars.  Incentive enough to drop it.  Being a tad outside my standard of living I haven't been keeping up with what's happening to the Jag line.  Honda Civic is as good as it gets.  :-)  Thanks for your visit. Glad you enjoyed this one.  Best, LM.

Your comments\constructive critiques will be gratefully received.
