"You sure do look pretty, Miss Leslie. Pert nigh good enough to eat! " and this shot is right pretty too. seriously, this is a really fine image, the reflection, the negative space at the bottom draws your eye to the hat.

The deep rich colour of the car and the smoothness of it is yummy. The white hat contrasts nicely with it. This has such a retro feel to it, I like it.

I love this!! It says so much! I want to know more of the story.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:43:34 PM
Yes it is. I wonder if I'd have made the connection if you hadn't used a title. I think so. I hope that I would have.

Anyway, even without that connection at all, this is a very good photograph about iconography. What's represented symbolically is just as palpable as that which is literally depicted. Maybe more so. Just goes to prove the old adage invented by me: "There never was a photograph that couldn't be improved by not including half the story." 9.

Simple yet compelling. This makes me think the hat belonged to somebody who really loved this car. Love the deep red & reflections on the trunk.

You can have my girl
But don't touch my hat
