VE-908

Great car, David...I'm glad to see your up to your "old" shinanigains...Regards...Marjorie

I'm not yet up to full speed on those "old shenanigans," as I've been ill, and had a number of things impinge upon my shananiganism. I'm doing the best I can and hope to get caught up sometime soon.

Hope you're on the road to recovery. Nicely captured, here. I like the grittiness of the processing, rusty, but still keeping one eye perpetually open and alert.

I know you're going to get some technical comments about over-exposure, etc. and I don't care. I think this is a raw, powerful and very satisfying compositionall abstract.

Thanks. I'm on the mend, but it is taking way to long.

I'm particularly pleased that you found it acceptable, as I could have done it a lot more "straight." I wanted to push the envelope a bit, and usually when I do that, it is not well received.

It's like a painting representation/abstraction and that's why I like it...I am usually not a fan of pushing processing as you know (mainly because I like the life-slice status of photography), but here it clearly states what it is and you make it become a drawing....

Thanks. Given all the good vehicle images on Pnet and elsewhere, it is easy to dismiss them as just one of many. That's why I tried to be a bit edgier with it.

Take your time in recovering, we are not ready or willing to have you depart the scene this early. A great shot of an old friend.

Well, I'm not the master of these old relics that you are, but I give it a shot (pun intended) every now and then.

Lovely image, David. I like the composition and the scratched and weathered bumper. I wish you a steady and swift recovery. Happy New Year!
