4th Place (tie)
Lookin' At Some Old Wheels
by MFC (TracyB)

The Packard Museum

There were some nice, old Packards here; and the window lighting cast
some really neat colors off the floor too. I found out that the classic
hood ornaments tell a lot about the car's age. A winged lady holding a
wheel like this belongs to a mid-thirties Packard.

Thanks for commenting, everybody. Katherine, the coloring is real and is mainly from the colorful, bright, out-of-focus rug beneath the car in the background. This is inside a museum. TracyB

Great composition, colors and DOF! Are those the real colors, or did you do something with a gradient?

I, too, like the out of focus wheel in the background.with the lady in sharp focus. The framing is also right on. Looks like a great place to visit.---deb

Great shot. I like the composition with the ornament placed in front and the out of focus car in the back. It looks like the winged lady is delivering a spare tire....

Wow, never have seen this ornament before. Great perspective!
