Mercury

Great POV - black and white editing!

Best regards, Gail

From the town of Big Timber.  I like the slight angle -- sort of gives it an "attitude."  Great sky for a background.  I would have shot this differently, and it wouldn't have looked as good.  So I'm filing this away and hoping I can find it again when needed.

I think I may have told you where this is, but maybe not. Its on the hwy up the Gallatin River outside of Bozemen. Not too far if I remember correctly. Right around the sign for buffalo meat, advertising that they will kill it for you or you can shoot it yourself. Friendly folks at the car place. I just talked to one of the owners on the phone so I could get his address and send him a few prints. I would definately like to see your version of this car.

Thanks Gail.

My version would be very boring.  It would be straight, and the whole car would be shown.  Trust me, I like this much better -- it has personality, and the car is saying something.  My version would just be an old, dead car.

I also like the POV, and the sky's great, too.  This brings back memories, as I drove a '50 Merc coupe back in '67. It was my parents' first car after the war.  If I'm not mistaken, the car next to it in the image is a sister to it, or at least a close cousin.

Regards, Tom

I love the angle as it makes a dramatic image with the car before that great sky! Lovely tones and composition. Very well done. Thank you for sharing. :)
