Portrait of a Hot Rod Couple

Wow – this is really cool. Love the treament and framing. The girl from this angle looks a little like Audrey Tatou of Amelie fame…which is never a bad thing : )

Love the soft finish and subject matter! Excellent composition and very unique! Well done Paul!

Thats utterley brilliant Paul!

Uber cool … did you ask them to pose or is that just a lucky shot? I love the way she’s looking at him, it’s like she’s thinking ‘honey with that hair and this set of wheels … I’ll do anything you want, don’t have to ask me twice’ ... V sexy :)

Very Vanzella

Sooo vintage cool, you must be in photographers heaven….!
Is that a Diner cap the girl is wearing?

Yes, I believe that is a diners cap – how cool is that… do you just walk out one day and say… yes, I’ll wear that! ...... also, no the pic wasn’t staged, it was real life people doing what they know best… kicking back and looking cool retro style!

What a great place to be! You make us all jealous, I think, Paul!! You’ve captured the dream beautifully, I’d bet this couple would love to buy this print.

Wow! your in car-guy heaven, in your element, so much cool jammed into one image…great work Paul!!!

UNIQUE COMPOSITION, BUT IT WORKS WELL WITH THE COLOR AROUND, JUST BEAUTIFUL, PAUL!!!

I thought the cars were models, it’s almost too surreal to be

I love everything about this. the colours, tones, the sharpness – just awesome, Paul.
