  • Wow, you are lucky to have everything under one roof. Antiques make beautiful pictures, looking forward to more!

  • I am always amazed at how you manage to find so many older vehicles in such great shape.

    Here, I particulary enjoy the contrast between the supersaturated truck and the drab, dusty building.

  • I meant to comment on this the last time I was here and other images distracted me from it.

    The combination of teal truck and contrasting off white background are very complimentary. The feeling of "antique" is very strong.

    One of the common elements of great static images like this are angles. Looking at the roof angling down to the right and the truck angling up to the right focus the eye exactly where it's supposed to be - a reverse tracking if that makes sense putting both building and truck into context. There is a sense of depth to this image that is the hallmark of good still life.

    This is really good and I like it a lot. There is only one little flaw and it's on the driver's side windshield. If you look close, you can see a little jagged edge which is a result of the angle at which the image was taken. Nothing you could have done about it and it doesn't detract from the image - just something to be aware of in the future.

    Well done.
