1936 Packard

Forks, Washington

While visiting Forks, got to take in some drag racing on Sat at the local airstrip, as well as,
a classic car show. This shot is from one angle where I was trying to pick up the red reflection
of a fire truck in this hood ornament, while maintaining an interesting background colour combination.

From the Left is Here

Be sure to view both shots.

Just wonderful with the colors of the bokeh. BV.

Knowing what both sides look like I prefer this view as the red influence in the foreground coloring in the reflection. I also agree that both are true winners...

Excellent work Fred! Nothing beats a fire-engine red shadow affect and the complimentary pastel peach and contrasting green is truly stunning in the bokeh. g

I prefer the background in this one... Great capture!

This one has better light on the figure but the background is so different. Just goes to show how perspective can so change the shot. Both are winners. V
