You do love your cars John – and you make us love them too! Beautifully done, and I love the image of the horseback rider too. Great action shot. Good explanation on why cropping is sometimes a better option BTW.

Wonderful post, John! Your before and after shot really hones in on the important points. Your classic car shots are fabulous, too. This is a great lesson on cropping and filling the frame. 🙂 🙂

In reply to JohnRH.Yup, I think you got those lyrics right. That car was a beautiful example of mid-century American automobile design.

Ooooh. Nice! As I recall, the commercial went “It’s de-lightful, it’s de-lovely, it’s de-lirious, it’s de-latest, it’s Desoto!” I think we had a ’57 Dodge Custom Royal with big fins and push button transmission. Don’t make ’em like that anymore!

In reply to Abrie Joubert.Thanks! The commonization of design is unfortunate. But it is being done to maximize fuel efficiency. All cars look alike these days.

You once taught me about shooting pics with extra room for cropping… It’s been very helpful!

Those cars introduced amazing had lines which have been un-invented since. Lovely captures
