April 5 2005:
Mutant Beetle

I’ve been meaning to photograph this car for ages – the blackness of it tends to put me off, but there, I’ve done it. I did actually convert it to mono to get rid of some muted colour refelections on the bodywork.

Cropped and Resized
Converted to Grayscale

Recognise the corner of the headlight..but thats about it!
Great reflections and shadows in your image..fantastic angle too.

Guest 05-Apr-2005 21:04
I'm not a fan of this mutation but this really makes the most of it

Excellent angled close-up of this shiny Beetle. Nice contrast.

Lee Rudd 05-Apr-2005 19:55
Very abstract result... nice

Guest 05-Apr-2005 19:47
great angle - works well in mono

Gail Davison 05-Apr-2005 19:25
I like the angle of this Ray and the tight crop works very well.

Oh, looks like the poor thing's been abused...

Ric Yates 05-Apr-2005 18:24
Great shot Ray, had no idea what this was from the thumbnail. Like the abstract treatment.

Adalberto Tiburzi 05-Apr-2005 18:11
Although very tight angle, gives perfectly the idea of what you mean!

Antonis Sarantos 05-Apr-2005 18:04
Perfectly composed!!!

Love the angle you took this from.
I've not noticed it, a StJohns beast?
