Nice work on the image of this very famous car and couple that drove it. Like the collage of photos around the car showing images of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. Bet this car is worth a lot of money! One of a kind with history behind it. Nice work on this and thanks for sharing it.

    Thank you very much! I have no Idea how much money the car is worth. Museums usually do not talk about the price of their valuables.

    Thank you very much!
    [There was no original poster. The mixed media is a collage of my own photos, which I had taken of original items at the museum.]

Teriffic piece. The hard work you put into this has paid off in a work that is really remarkable. I would love to see this in black and white. Very well executed(pun might be intentional). A very successful piece.
Thanks

    Thank you very much! I have some black and white of the exhibition as well I may will post in time. I thought the original colors would be better for this contest.

Lots of work done to create this photograph. Anyone that loves old cars would be thrilled to be able to photograph this vehicle. Great colours and clarity.

You always learn something new on this site. Of course I have heard about Bonnie and Clyde, but I had no idea that their car could still be seen. I think you have made a fine collage here, and I especially like a bit of colors being presented on the left as a contrast to all the beige tones. A pity that the wheel is cut off at the bottom though.

Your photo of the car is however nice and sharp showing clear and well defined details, and the exposure is very good.

Apart from the wheel I have already mentioned the car has got a good placement within the frame, and I also like the perspective you have used. I think this is a well taken and well edited image, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    Thank you, I appreciate your throughout and thoughtful review and your wishes very much. I am mad myself about the tire. That was the best I could get in that small place. I thought about adding space and clone the tire; but that will have to wait till after the contest. I got cut of by the deadline. There was just not enough time.

    What you suggest is possible to do, but it takes time to get a good result. The photo will of course be even better if you do. You are more than welcome for the review.

    I know. I have done it before. There was just not enough time.I will do it later and replace the picture when its done.

Great composition and lighting.
Especially like the background newspaper article.
Great idea. Love the angle of the car too. Great initial impact.

Fantastic artistic composition - your ability to emerge the different layers and images are stunning as you present a reality effect in this image, without your explanations this could be an original picture from the museum itself

Fantastic shot of the car and certainly they have polished and repaired it as this car is a fantastic construction amazing to look at in our aerodynamic car time - super contest entry , great idea reminding us at a worlds known true story , great job, all the best for the contest
