Oh Jeb, the snow makes it look so cold and unloved, that's so wrong for such a gorgeous car. Nicely done, I knew your shot in this challenge would be a good'un.

I bet this is an amazing car - what a shame that it is not being driven.

The photo is very cool - looks like a pencil drawing. Too bad it was not sufficiently appreciated by the voters.

Hee! When I saw this I thought it might be yours - you have a thing for the grills of old cars. Lovely machine! I like it in B&W, too - very fitting.

I like the B&W work here. I don't like the snow on the car though. Whoever wants to buy this car would wonder what's under the snow cover. A big crack, a big rusty hole? This could get 2 more points if snow wasn't there :/

The snow and B&W really make this a great photo. It does make one wonder though as to what the real color of the car could be?! BB

Nice detail shot, very Wabi Sabi. For an ad, I'd like to see more of the car. As a photo, I like this one a lot. 6

Unexcelled curves and nostalgia, minimally done.

What a great grill this car has. It sure would be fun to get this thing going and work on. The close crop works really well here, I just wish it were a bit sharper in focus.

The headlights are the eyes of a car. If this was a portrait of a person, you might not want to have one of the eyes half cropped out of the image. Tonal seem a little on the light side, could do with pushing the bottom end to balance it out a little bit

Nice idea but lacking in 'Wow' factor.

Delightful lines to the car though.

While I like the editing of this, I think a wider crop wouldve benefited this photo. Also if you meter for the brightest spot you can avoid the blown highlights(snow & chrome). your focus and comp look pretty good to me. good luck

Yet another old car and nothing to look at but a front bumper. I want to see the whole car if you want me to buy it.

good presentation of this car which saw better days. The snow on top is a real good touch.

Nice shot amd the title works well for the challenge. Very nice B&W conversion (congrats on not getting blow out on the snow) and good sharpness

These tones work very well as a BW.

a bit too bright overall and cropped too tightly, at least both headlights should be in the shot

I like the B&W conversion to go along with a vintage car. I also like the close crop. Not sure about the snow and slightly soft focus. IMHO -6-
