    Hmmm, very cool! Silky smooth Ann, love the highlights.

  • Thank-you, Craig! The car had an awesome paint job but I liked the way, when converted to B/W, that the highlights stood out. Glad you liked it! :-)

    great capture and light

  • Thanks! It was a very sunny day so it was a bit tricky sometimes to have the right blend of highlights and shadows let alone having to deal with all the reflections! :-)

    LOVELY B&W tones Ann – and I love the sparkly highlights too!

  • Thanks! “Sparkly highlights” are the way to go!! ;-D
    If only my car would be so clean to have “sparkly highlights” LOL!

  • Hmm… I never thought of that. I’ll look into it, thanks for the suggestion!! :-)

  • Umm.. I’m a year off, is that going to make a difference? 1940 vs. 1910-1939

    yes but they were probably planning the vehicle in 1939, hence the styling
