Photographer's Note
This was taken at Dubs at the Hall in Norfolk last weekend. I applied a cross process and cinemascope filter in Picasa and I really like the retro colours and look for a retro bus. Opinions - is it too "over processed"?

Hi Rachel
No, it isn't overprocesse in my eyes. The retro look works well with this vintage car. It looks almost like one of my faded Ectacrome slides hidden somewhere in the attic.
The subject brings back a lot of fond memories.

Hi Rachel
Whilst I loved the photo of the Lotus, I couldn't resist this. Your post-processing is top-notch, I love the retro look which has really been emphasised by this type of post-processing. You composed this superbly, with the Kombi on the left and the bit of greenery on the right. The low POV was a masterstroke too. Great shot.
Cheers
Lisa

Hi Rachel,
A lovely shot of an old "split-screen" VeeDub Combi taken from an interesting angle and from low level too. In fact, it almost looks as though it's about to disappear downhill backwards into those bushes.
Whatever processing you have used - and I'm not really familiar with the Picasa range of editing features - it has certainly worked very well here and given a nice overall effect. The colours are vibrant and strong, the contrasts good, the exposure spot-on and the sharpness excellent.
Brilliant!
Kind Regards,
John.
