1955 Mercury Classic B&W portrait

She didn't want to hold still for the photo shoot, and her

personality was showing, but I eventually got the capture despite her

fickle behavior. All comments welcome, of course. If you are

interested in the color version, you can see it

very, very well done... wonderful comp... and I love what you did with the color... many manipulations detract as far as I'm concerned.. this adds to the feeling.

I like it. A good choice using the wide angle

Great shot. 3D pic in just two dimensions. well

Neat angle!

outstanding. i hope to be as good as you when i become an over the hill bum.

Thanks for the comments, folks. Ben, I've spent time looking at your stuff. I don't think you have to worry. You're a much better photographer now than I am. I've been a bad photographer for a long time. But I AM good at being a bum. Everyone needs some sort of talent. Cheers.

thnks barry, but i'm still not paying you that money i owe ya :) btw, i would have a hard time getting this portayal, it IS a litte beyond me. your patience with the whites (i would have blown them out 99% of the time), and your nuanced toning is exceptional, and the perspective is just right. congrats, i am the student here, and more than willing to tip my hat in your direction.

super shot ! 7/7

This collection is gorgeous, Barry ! This image is my favorite. Well done !

I could not decide which version I like better! This one or the the colour version. In the end I prefered the B&W version it has a much more classic feel rust and all. The warped fender plays well here nice POV.
