This it the 3rd photo I've seen of the Cadillac farm this week. Weird that it keeps turning up. I like the sky and city lights in the background. Wish the cars were a little more brightly lit.

You know, I'm not sure whether to be sad about all the graffiti on these gorgeous beasts. I like graffiti in the right place - just not sure it's here. And this has nothing to do with the quality of your shot - which is just fine - but the feeling that it invokes. Really a lovely composition.

This is such a surreal image. Kinda post apocalyptic. Love it. Looking at it for the 4th or 5th (lost count!) time, I wonder if the distant lights could be bothersome?, or if maybe the foreground needed to be lit just a smidge more?
