A terrific photo, James, where all the elements came together...well composed, exposed and processed. You deserved the win!!

As an aside, the truck looks like it has a California license plate!!

Wow, Great Job!
The photo looks authentic in all respects.
Even the "faded" B&W.

Yea, I know. It was too late to photoshop out as I had already posted my entry before I realized it. Should have also removed that odd little antenna on the roof.

Congrats James, a really fine shot.

A question for you. I joined the NPC which met at the Church on Broadway. I was disappointed because after the judging every week, winners seemed to be the same few people, and no discussion was conducted for how to improve. So, not learning much, I left after a year. Has this changed at all, so it is more of a learning environment? TIA for any reply.

Thanks for your question and thanks for your complement. I remember that meeting location. Nope, same ole club, but now with a larger variety of winners who don't discuss how they achieved their winning photo. However, they do offer free lessons in how to use Photoshop and Lightroom. My reason for renewing year after year, is that I get to talk about photography with others. Sort of "talking shop". You can learn a lot that way. I made a lot of friends over the years. I get to visit and interact with folks who have different gear than me. I get exposed to professional photographers who come to speak and share their secrets. The best part, before the pandemic...was going on photographic outings and journeys together. We've been to Old Car City, Cumberland Falls, Reelfoot Lake Wildlife Refuse, plus day trips to Land Between the Lakes, and numerous sites in and around Nashville. There's nothing more fun than being with a big group of photographers on an outing. The comradery and friendship lasts a lifetime. Photography Clubs aren't for everyone though. I've seen a lot of people come and go over the years. Sadly right now, the club only meets virtually via Zoom with no outings. We all hate not being able to see each other in person. Thanks again and stay safe. Nashville is full of Covid.

I did not know that they have Quick Trip in Nashville. Do they have the expanded kitchens in that one like they do here?


They're called "Quik Sak's" here Tom, with no kitchen what-so-ever. Just huge isles of unhealthy snacks and beer. My kinda place.

Hi Folks, well I'm bragging a bit here (ha, ha). Since the pandemic, I don't get to celebrate among my fellow photography club members. Currently the Nashville Photography Club now only meets virtually. However, to keep members engaged in photography, the club offers several contests...Weekly, Monthly and Yearly. The yearly winner is chosen (as the best) from all the monthly winners during the past year. It's a lot of fun and keeps us "looking" for possible contest candidates. Anyway...Thanks for humoring me. Hope everyone is safe and healthy.
