rich, sweeping light and hues in this beautiful trio. The top shot is on a tilt---maybe the actual ground it tilted there, because other parts of the shot are not tilted...but whichever it is, I love that you left the tilt, because it makes the car look like it's tilting 'for' you, the way a person would in a portrait; and the light and contrasts are beautiful. (Do you ever want to remove the signs, and tell everyone to get lost? I mean, I know it's part-and-parcel of an auto show, but I'd wanna stomp into the crowd and shout, "Get the hell outa here, and let me shoot!") But you always incorporate the background into your composition. The cars and people make a well layed-out composition, in the 1st shot. The 2d shot gives us the front and side, with more beautiful sheen and reflections; and a great shot of a guy behind the car---in a hat, and under an umbrella. And the lines are beautifully composed too---ie, angling back to the far right side. The third gives us the back of the car, with its big bear-backed swooping shape, and all that chocolate color, and the animal-in-a-crouching-position feeling. Cropped just right. More fine hues and sheen and compositions. You even lined the red hood---back, right---with the line of the Packard. Fine job with everything. (Btw, when you wrote "1601," I thought, this care was made in 1601! I realize that's insane, but when you're tired, you get vermisched...I thought, okay: There were car companies in the 17th Century!)
I'm at an hour and 10 minutes, and I have to leave. But I actually did 10 comments, which averages 7 minutes per. That's faster than usual when I return after an absence. I'll be back for more. (I Have to get up the courage to post too...it seems like it's been 6 years, and I don't even know what to put up...)
