Nice shots--close-ups of autos are my favorite kinds of shots of them.
thank you John! Well, I'm a fan of close up detail shots too. For me, it serves a few purposes. For starters, you can eliminate much of the extraneous clutter you get at most car shows from people, coolers, hoods open, folding chairs, etc. And, as they say, "the beauty is in the details" and that's never been more true than what it is in cars. Let's face it, shooting cars and photographs of cars can be quite boring with most you see being shots of 3/4 front views shot from standing eye level, and often with the damn hoods open..a 10 year old could do that! Even the ugliest of cars can have interesting, if not beautiful details...it's just a matter of walking around the car and "seeing" them!

That's not a 70-200 f2.8, is it, Vin?
no, it's not Ray. This is Canon's 24-105L lens, and an excellent performer it be!

Nice!! Simple, but nicely done! I like your choice of items; they are different but share a common shape. The fact that blue and yellow make green also tie them together nicely!
Usually, I opt for black and white but in this case I'm going to choose the color. Because each item is a different color each item is set apart; each item stands out from the other 2. In your B&W the colors are so close together in the gray scale that, other than shape, there isn't much to make each item stand apart from each other.
This is just what I see and what appeals to me; just my view.

thank you Dodie, for that generous comment! I'm glad you liked it so. Funny, that you mention things that I was unconscious of when I assembled the components, like how blue and yellow make green, and the rounded shape of the three items, but I did come to that realization after, and when I was doing the edits. Something else that I noticed that was kind of common to the three items, they all had openings at the top, and even the apple had a recession like opening there. My initial goal was to show soft light, which in this case, was filtered light from a north facing window. And how soft light tends to wrap around subjects with no harsh delineation between the bright, and the shadow areas. You might say the end result was a combination of some thought, and with a bit of unconscious luck, haha!
