This was in my top 5! I love shooting and appreciating shots of old vehicles. Very well done!

I can't believe the comments on lack of relevance for the challenge - it's a brilliant take on the theme (an obvious one too, unlike some very obscure free associations that seem to take place here) and a fantastic shot. That old car has got bags of personality; congratulations for capturing it so well!

Such a shame this ranked so low, I can't believe you suffered so much from DNMC which it so obviously did!

This maybe clever, but it is really not in the spirit of the challenge. There is no portrait here.

Great picture, but not fitting for this challenge....

Old but not a portrait of the elderly...

Nice B&W - look like it needs a little TLC.

Love the interpretation. Excellent shot. What a "character". This really works for me, but others might not "get it".

So much weathered detail make this a brilliant picture.

Well, here's a change of pace. I like it. 9

it is a portrait of something old... as far as this challenge goes, the best in original subject in my opinion.
like that it's not a centered composition.

Nice car picture but off the topic, IMHO

I was thinking of doing something like this. Very well done, nice interpretation.

great take on the subject. I like it!

I like the shot but the light poles and buldings in the back ground are distracting to me.

Love it, I was hoping someone would step away from elderly people and pick a classic object.

a bit of a stretch for the challenge...

Oooooh, nice shot! I love photos like this. I have to say my faith in the out-of-the-box mindset of most dpc voters isn't very strong, so I hope you aren't getting punished for this not being a person -- because I think it is very cool art :)

This has to be my favourite shot in this challenge because not only is it a well executed and interesting shot but you thought outside of the box nice one. 10
