'41 Chevy 03 B&W

My uncle Bill's first car, a 1941 Chevy, has been in the family forhalf a century. It's spent the last half of that sitting in the shedbehind his parents' garage providing shelter and warmth forgenerations of raccoons, woodchucks, and other creatures. Rumor has itthat its days are now numbered, so I wanted to capture some of itscharacter before it leaves home for the last time.

The lighting in this shot is natural via a large hole in the roof ofthe shed.

Postprocessing darkened, slightly sharpened, slightly increasedsaturation, and vignetted the original frame. How could I haveimproved this shot?

The color version is also in my gallery. I submitted this B&W versionto our state fair photo competition to be judged later this month.

Ben,

Love this image... almost becomes an abstract. Very nice!

Best,

Michael

Thanks for your kind words. The State Fair results are in, and this photo didn't make the cut. However, I did win 8 ribbons for the 21 photos I submitted, include first place in one class for this photo:
