 Taken at the Jacksonville Zoo during the Father's Day Car Show. Wasn't much out there this year, and most of the shots had horrible reflections/backgrounds.

I toned down most of the colors except for the reds to bring the car out more and to tone down on the bright green trees in the back. This was one of the few cars out by itself where I wasn't getting numerous other cars and people in the shot.

If this is a 1967 Chevelle, then I had one of these in 1972. I guess it's old enough, but seems like yesterday.

One of my favorite cars when I was in high school and how did you know I like red muscle cars?. I like the selectice desat works nicely.

Is color isolation allowed in basic editing?

Great shot. 70? 71? Like the selective desat. Wish the image had a shallower DOF (to blur the trees in the back). I think voters might ding you on the fence in the background for being distracting. I think a little bit more space on the left side may have helped. Best of luck on the voting.
