Another charming creation! I don't mind the wheels at all; they are just part of the whimsy. The framing is a little tight for me (horizontal), and the brown-orange sky I'm not 100% in love with, though I suspect it could turn out to be the best color for balance and contrast, as you've probably already worked through that 
Thank you Linda. I think perhaps you give me more credit for critical thought than I deserve. BTW, this may be the first vertical or portrait layout I have ever done. I can't really explain why I did it with this image. Some things defy explanation.

Wow. what a great job you did on this model! The background is especially effective, I would suggest an abstract composition using the style you used on it!
Thank you Veronica. It's all rather "abstract" in my mind, so please explain more fully how you define the term for me to understand your suggestion.

The wheels can easily be manipulated simply using Edit>Transform.
Thank you Terry. I'll give it a try.

A small fix would be to add tread to the right front tire. A fix for the rear tire might be accomplished by using a Vanishing Point filter.
Thanks. There was tread on that front tire. I wonder what happened to it.
I'll have to look into the Vanishing Point filter. I admit I don't know exactly how it works. But Google will explain it I'm sure.

For this image I used a photo of a 1937 Packard (posted by one of our members) as my main model for the car. It was a convertible in the photo but I wanted a coupe. I reused the mountain background from a different image I created a few weeks ago and the background temple is a new construct from my imagination. As in the past, everything here was created in Adobe Photoshop starting with a blank white file. The car's tires were the hardest part to get right and they're still far from perfect. Your thoughts are always appreciated. Chris

This is a wonderful, flowing, almost musical image. Outstanding creativity and to me it has an art deco feel.

Love your whole composition! Beautiful technique...as far as the caddy, well, it can always be on one of the roads in the background, leaving for town! Great technique!
Thank you very much Veronica. I'm working on an old rusty pickup to replace the Caddy but the Caddy is not happy about it.

You're not alone. Thanks very much for weighing in.

I just found this and I'm happy I did! I like Wei... (show quote)
Thank you very much Phil. I'm glad you see similarities with the great Z.Z. Wei's work that I tried to attain in my minimal creation and I'm also happy someone doesn't dislike my Caddy.

Without the ability to view the first three images side by side (I don't think I have that ability) I cannot give you my call on a favorite. For my eye all three are too similar for any meaningful differentiation. I like the simplicity of the light post image posted later in the chain.

This is a very interesting image Veronica and for some reason reminds me of a Native American style Pendleton wool blanket. I very much like the design.
