just how do you do it, the light here is so perfect ( did you ask them to line the green and orange car next to each other?). only thing i’d say is the black border a little too thick… which has nothing to do with quality of your excellent photo
Juilee Pryor
geez I wouldn’t want to be taking that orange one over any speed humps…..crikey !!!!!! ouch and all that…. great image….it looks like its all made out of sugar…....... :)
Lee Burgess
This is the Vegas I’d like to see!!! :D Gorgeous Paul!!

This looks like a film set. Great tones. Love the cars, architecture & fashion from that era but I wouldn’t want to have to wait by the stove in an apron for my husband to come home from work

Paul, the cool thing about you is that when you do these awesome things in these amazing places, you`ve got the natural ability to share it with us in a way that puts us there through your eyes. What an amazing talent to have.

You should bottle that treatment that adorns your images… maybe call “if only you were as good as me” by the “bubble master”...... Now excuse me as I clean the drool off my keyboard…

Brilliant composition

How cool, I attended the same Gold Coast Hotrod show back in 2004 and have a couple of shots in my folio from that awesome trip. Course, my treatments don’t compare to this great work. Love the colours and reflections – in a way they almost look like miniatures the way the shot is composed. They are amazing machines, ain’t no doubt! :o)
jianina

Dreamcoat
Hot Rods are Cool (lol)
Dreamcoat
& phat. I like the added colour overlay too, to give the overall effect of the shot being taken perhaps in the same era as those Classic Rodders.
budrfli

Alan Findlater

I love the golden colour in this :)
Rebecca Cozart
Too cool for words.
raintina
Awesome Photo Paul. Happy to have found it on the homepage. The Gold Coast brings back fond memories for me, after staying there we affectionately named it the OLD Coast. Stewed Prunes and Grandmas at the breakfast buffet was indeed like I stepped back in time and there wasn’t even a car show in town. ;)
coffeetea
brilliant image! great angle.
Earthmonster
Hot Rods on the Home Page!!!! Excellent, way to represent!
Xandru
Stunning image!!! The post treatment is brilliant.
Ted Byrne
Of the very many things which intrigue me about this image, the asymmetry – which you do do so effortlessly – makes me most envious…. While most of us are tyrannized by balance and neatly distributed weight… you seem to casually toss off images which defy gravity. This one should tumble counter clockwise and yet it is solid as… as… the auras of those three street rods. From palette, through form, shape, through light… all of this prods at my imagination… but that lopsided powerful asymmetrical loading REEEEEEELY ROCKS!
Tinbeetle
Wow! – Looks computer generated, almost too perfect!
Cora Wandel
Paul, I can’t remember the last time a picture stirred my imagination as much as this one does!
MKWhite
Stunning work, Paul. Congrats on the home page feature :)
micmac
WOW!!! Very Las Vegas indeed,what a fantastic treat for the eyes…BRAVO ON THE HOME PAGE!!
Catherine Howell
Great shot!! We drove through one time on the way to a barrel race in Utah. Never got to stop, but looked fascinating all the same. The cars are awesome!! Congratulations on the home page!
Sharon Mau
Wow! How did you do that!? Congratulations on your homepage feature Paul with this extraordinary work of photographic art! Ho’omaika’i ‘Ana
