 Right place, right time. Happened to be a gathering of classic cars on the same weekend I'd booked a charter fishing trip.

Title taken directly from a sticker on the back of the car.

I decided on this angle because of the lighting conditions I had to work with and because the passenger side windshield had several stickers and tags on it for the show it was a part of, which detracted from the scene.

Looking back I wished I'd gotten lower and shot up at the car...though I do like having the other car in the background.

That other car in the background is quite distracting. A different angle might have been a help here.
