Photographer’s Note

I took this shot a few months ago. We were on our way to our favourite Cafe 'Made in Stanmore' (Inner West, Sydney). I saw this car and it's artwork tickled my fancy. Problem - long lense on the camera; however, my need for a coffee fix over rode my need to place my short lense on the camera :( So, I just went ahead taking shots. This is what I am posting - like it or not :[] Coffee was lovely but :))

I have cropped the bitumen out in FG.

Hello Graham.
I think you should frame the car to the side and not from this pov.
It's anyway a good image, colorful and lively.
Best regards.
Bobo.

Hi Mr Burraburra! I'm glad the coffee was good, gotta satisfy that fix. Great example of spotting here (I would have walked by quite oblivious). The subject is very IW aint it? :) I particularly like the Papa Smurf detailing :). Thanks for sharing and enjoy your shortened week, Lisa.

Hello Graham,
I like the subject as this is something different and unusual. You did the right thing to crop out the tar sealed road in the FG. The owner has gone a long way to do this.

Ah Graham - the things people waste their money on (and I don't mean good coffee. A well composed shot and good cropping.
cheers

Hello Graham, It sure is interesting, it never ceases to amaze me, were they promoting something or they just think it was a good idea to paint their car like this, I guess there is no accounting for taste. Nice colourful & interesting shot, Coffee was nice but???.
Thanks
Take care
Santo
