OOOOH!!! I love this one!!! Do you think the owner would sell it to me???? Fantastic capture Ann!! I love the angle and treatment!!
It looks like we planned a purple night!!! #1105455

Tommy E. Burgess March 29, 2009

You've really been putting out some outstanding captures that have been a trip down yesteryear Ann but this may be my favorite yet. Beautiful work and the angled POV is really outstanding. A favorite for me. #7346757

Tiia Vissak March 29, 2009

very cool! #7346769

Courtenay Vanderbilt March 29, 2009

Love your use of this angle again Ann! I really makes what might have been a static image dynamic. (Sorry that word just keeps coming to mind!) Terrific colors and HDR! #7347344

Gina Cormier March 29, 2009

Ann....this is so cool!! I love the angle on this and the whole feel of it!!! Wonderful!! Now...bring me a cheeseburger and a milkshake!! #7347515

Sam Britt March 29, 2009

I agree with Tommy! A trip down memory lane! I love the color, effects and angle! What a perfect spot to park that gorgeous car! LOL! #7348055

Leslie McLain March 29, 2009

Terrific capture--cool colors and effects. #7348217

Nadya Johnson March 29, 2009

COOL capture, Ann! Especially cool, because the setting fits the classic car! I remember these... kids in high school had them and we thought little of it, at the time. Which does betray my age! Yikes! I have to wonder now, how many people could just kick themselves - probably sold them cheap, never guessing they'd be CLASSICS now, and worth a real bundle! This one is a beauty. Love that color! #7348326

Janet Daniel March 29, 2009

Spectacular angle, color, & effects, Ann! This image ROCKS! #7348371

frank w. degenhardt March 29, 2009

Ann- Dear girl, this one is over the top. I love the angle beacause of what you were able to capture. The shake sign, the drive thu with the waitress, and even the block glass window. Then of course the star of the show, that cherry ride. Love the colors and lines of this classic. What a beauty. Brilliant work and capture once again my dear friend.
Have a wonderful day, you take care of yourself. #7348627

Julianne Bradford March 29, 2009
