You've really been putting out some outstanding captures that have been a trip down yesteryear Ann but this may be my favorite yet. Beautiful work and the angled POV is really outstanding. A favorite for me. #7346757

Love your use of this angle again Ann! I really makes what might have been a static image dynamic. (Sorry that word just keeps coming to mind!) Terrific colors and HDR! #7347344

Nadya Johnson March 29, 2009 0

COOL capture, Ann! Especially cool, because the setting fits the classic car! I remember these... kids in high school had them and we thought little of it, at the time. Which does betray my age! Yikes! I have to wonder now, how many people could just kick themselves - probably sold them cheap, never guessing they'd be CLASSICS now, and worth a real bundle! This one is a beauty. Love that color! #7348326

Janet Daniel March 29, 2009 0

Spectacular angle, color, & effects, Ann! This image ROCKS! #7348371

Ann- Dear girl, this one is over the top. I love the angle beacause of what you were able to capture. The shake sign, the drive thu with the waitress, and even the block glass window. Then of course the star of the show, that cherry ride. Love the colors and lines of this classic. What a beauty. Brilliant work and capture once again my dear friend.
Have a wonderful day, you take care of yourself. #7348627
