It's that time of year when you start getting beautiful reflections in car paintwork.
I love the shot. As much as I love my cars, I rarely enjoy pictures where the whole car is in view. Selective shots of part of a car I find far more interesting.

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

One of my mates had one in the 60's, it was bright red 10 coats of paint, you could shave in the reflection.

I'm not a petrolhead but I love the graphics of this picture along with the abstract reflections.

This is a very original view of a car like this, nice one.
In my view, losing an inch and half from the bottom of the grill promotes the abstract nature of it, and creates a much better balanced image.

Thanks Paul, and everyone else, this is part of a project and I'm forced to have all 25 images the same format ie. square.This is a very original view of a car like this, nice one.

Good point though and I'll look at it again.
I seem to photograph in different parts of London from you. Paul, are you suggesting losing the red enamel badge?

No no Ken, the badge is important in the image, and is key. It was just about taking some centimetres off from the bottom of the image.
If you scroll the image up from this post to just leaving a centimetre below the chrome surround of the badge, you may agree on how it improves the image.
What does the project involve, Ken? I'm guessing abstract views of cars, if so this certainly is a great one.

Good pic,
I like the contrast of the Blue body and Red badge and the reflections add a nice interest to the pic.
I am just not sure about the grill, it leads my eyes down and out of the image and makes me want to see the rest of it.
It will be interesting to see what Paulys crop would do,

You're right abut the crop. The project is a poster with a car for each letter of the alphabet, it starts with 'A' is for Austin and this might be 'J' or 'X'. It is a grid of 25 (5x5) images. Unfortunately there are 26 letters in the English alphabet so I'm using 'VW' as one. I got 'E' a couple of minutes after this one - a broken down Jaguar E-Type with the bonnet up!

Lovely colours and reflections in the duco Ken. The leather bonnet strap adds a fair bit to it IMO.

That's a good idea, I will be interested in seeing more for this.
