Judges Comment

Love this shot, simple and has an appeal of its very own not only for the car itself and the textures and age in that but also for the scene where its been shot. My only thought would be that it would have been great to see this shot with less distortion to the car itself, maybe perhaps next time the chance it there it would be good to focus closer or pull back from the subject car and use a less wide angle lens, great shot though !

Photographers Comment

thank you for the mark of excellence! The picture was taken on the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge in New York. Camera Canon 1DX Lens Canon 16-35 L lense 2.8 Focal Length 18mm Aperture F11 This belongs to a series of Photos of this car, indeed the car itself could have been taken with a 24mm or 50mm to keep it from distortion, however I found that the subject was more interesting in the context of the environment The broken fence, the wet background and of course the bridge transport us to the seventies. In addition another car was parked tightly behind this one so other angles where not as isolating. It's really a street scene, more than a car portrait and it is not staged so there was little control over the environment, forcing the angular view. Congratulations to the winner and all the other contestants. I am extremely happy to have been mentioned among such great work.
