 This was a pretty random shot of a car parked in the parking lot near where I live. The rest of the car is missing because if I included it, I would have to include other cars in the background, would not be as good.

I did notice the reflections when framing the photo. There was little i could do about it given the angle that I was shooting from and the other cars around me. I just made sure i was not in the reflection :).

Thank you for submitting your photo to the DPChallenge, Free Study VII.

Good photo of a old American classic. The use of black and white conversion gives it a timeless classic style. The retro design of these old vehicles are priceless to possess. I am sure that this vehicle is one of your prize possessions.

Technically it works well. Your focus and lighting are good. Your cropping however leaves some questions. It would have been good to see the rest of the vehicle. It kind of leaves the viewer with wanting to see more of the image. There are minor distractions in the center of the photo. Its the reflection from up above. Its on the hood and right side fender. It takes away from the smooth and clean look of the shot. You might have had your reasons to only shoot half of the vehicle.

Overall a good clean shot of an old American car classic.

Good luck in your next DPChallenge.
