Brilliant Jag night time shot!

Sorry to hear about your disappointment and lack of response from the forum.
Personally, I don't remember seeing many of
your images previously posted, so visited your gallery - especially At The Car
Show.
I'm
still relatively new to this, so may know nothing, but I thought there were
some brilliant compositions, brilliant use of colours and I noticed they all
worked even better together as a collection because you could see a style then
running through them. Personally I'm not an American car lover - especially
their classics - but thought you picked out and identified the best features for
each to create some superb abstract images - my favourite is the E-type though;
rear corner with taillight partially cropped and long chrome bumper.
I suppose there are just as many differing
tastes in automotive images\style as there are photography subjects? Maybe yours
aren't "connecting" with the majority of viewers in this forum - the majority of
postings appear to be modern sports or super cars captured in a way that may
appeal more readily to "blokes"? Possibly these come from the direction that
first and foremost the car is "tasty or desirable", then it's captured with
photography skill? Whereas your images, IMHO, appear to come from the opposite
direction - brilliant photography skills, understanding of colour
and composition etc - first and foremost - then it's applied to a car?
It may seem daft, but could it be the case
that your images are not appealing in a strict "automotive" way, but in their
undoubted skilled use of colour and form instead? Then again, maybe I'm talking rubbish?
Anyway, I'd certainly like to attain your
photography skills - you clearly have them!
Cheers,
Neil
