Great photograph. It is perfect for the 70's. Love the peace sign and the flower power. LOL
Now I am thinking about the musical, Hair, and singing "Age of Aquarius." Great job.

Great picture. Very nice Flower Power colors and spirit. The vignette adds the perspective. And the hand is a must.
Well done. Good luck with the contest

This is a very clever entry for the "my generation" contest. Looks like it drove right out of forty years ago. Like the hand in the foreground, too. What would the 70's be without it. Nice lighting and colors. Absolutely cool! Lynnmarie

Comment from Mr Jones


my friend had one of these old vw camper vans. in the winter it was more colder on the inside than it was on the outside. it is a great photo and a strong contest entry. reminds me of the 'woodstock' era. really colourful and vibrant.

Comments: Peace Brother. I admire your creativity. Very original. The changing to VW Bus in black and white before you added your touches was a good idea. You had a really great start with the artist notes. It explains what you did very well. Thanks for sharing

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I like the idea, I like the VW bus and the vivid colors there very much, does fit that generation in my book. The background colors and the hand being transparent however to me do not fit that vibrant, wild and load colors of that generation. If the hand were bold and the background colors more psychedelic it would fit the intent of the image to me, nice start needs some adjustments as I'm I understanding the intent.

    Thank you very much for your review. I understand what you mean, and have already startet to work with your suggestions in my mind. Seeing this through your eyes for sure opened mine. Sometimes I think I am not couragous enough to do really crazy things. What about a strong vibrant green as a background ?
reply by Lucien van Oosten on 13-Jun-2011
    remember that all those colors are alive, bold, strong, very eye catching and the idea of repeating greens that are in the bus, is a good one, & will help pull the image together. I would posiibly i use a yellow-orange, or gold orange on the ground the bus is sitting on. play have fun and make it like a psychedelic poster, make it POP!!!
