 Taken to pay tribute to the great Italian coachbuilders that contributed to the romance of the automobile through design and inovation. Carrozzeria Touring was one of a handful of automobile body designers and builders to provide sportscars with the extra edge that made everyone wish they owned one. This was during the era when the romance of a fast and sleek looking sportscar was at its highest.
Used single incandecent bulb, tripod, and some luck. I had to remove some dust and unwanted artifacts. Made a contrast adjustment, levels, and saturation adjustment. Unsharpeh mask to finish it off. This shot was made with the camera inverted so it had to be turned 180 degrees. My Alfa is the subject.

Oh, no. You're not gonna charm me with a title. It's a great photo, but not for this challenge.

Nice shot, vibrant colors, sharp detail, some people might be slow to make the connection to a car though. Good solid photo...
