[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This 1966 VW Beetle was with me for five years and this spot under the two cherry trees has always been the parking spot during the day before it slipped into the porch at night. This exact picture was placed on eBay in 2004 and a guy who won the bid took a six hours nonstop ride home. A few months after the bug left, both the cherry trees strangely enough, died. Maybe both the trees missed the companionship - Who knows!
The picture was taken during dry spell where the grass was brownish.


Ce coléoptère de 1966 VW était avec moi pendant cinq années et cette tache sous les deux cerisiers a toujours été la tache de stationnement pendant le jour avant elle a glissé dans le porche la nuit. Cette image exacte a été placée sur eBay en 2004 et un type qui a gagné l'offre a fait un tour direct de six heures à la maison. Quelques mois après que le bogue soit parti, les les deux les cerisiers assez étrangement, mort. Peut-être les les deux les arbres ont manqué la compagnie - qui sait ! La photo a été prise pendant le charme sec où l'herbe était brunâtre.

Hello Jusni,
This is nostalgic to me as I used to have one of those myself (a 1969), even of the same colour!
A well composed presentation, rich colours and fine details...
Sorry for your loss of trees and car!
Greetings,
Pablo -

A cherry red bug, parked under cherry trees. Love would have been there at the first sight.Sorry for the loss.

Bonjour Jusni,

C'est une image très belle, et qui raconte une histoire. Mais pourquoi t'en es-tu séparé ?
Comme c'est de l'histoire ancienne, je te propose un WS en accord avec ta note, j'espère qu'il te plaira.
Amicalement,

Emma

Ciao Jusni,
mythical beetle!!! I would like to posses it! Very nice shot and great idea. Bravo.
Paolo.

Hi, Jusni,

Hi Jusni,
Beautiful shiny Volkswagen. Good angle shows the car at it's best. Red and green make a strong colour combination.

Hello Jusni,

very good shot of this beauty ! What a shame you sold it.

regards,

Luc.

Hi Jusni, great composition with splendid contrast between red wolkswagen and gree landscape, wonderful colors, splendid light, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Jusni..nice portrait of this classic car...you did a nice job with the colors and clarity.

Roger

Mint!

Really great composition on this, and the color is "authentic". Well done.

Chris

This one brings back alot of memories to me too. I was practically raised in three of these Beetles! Yes, my dad had three but not at the same time.

Though not as in epic proportion as Dr. Farid Ariffin's London to Malaysia journey, we travelled far and wide on them.

Thanks for sharing, man.

This is an excellent picture of this beautiful little car. I love the color! The framing by the trees is very nice. Good lighting and shadows. TFS

Hello Jusni,
I like this photo very much, the composition, colours and the leaves shadows on the car bonnet are excellent.
Thanks for sharing,
Markéta

Well this picture is special, by reading your note :)
The technical part of the photo is flawless, since the exposure on your subject is perfect.
the colours are vivid and true, and the POV selected, is lovely :)
You're lucky you have this photo, this one is great!

Though the sky might be brighter, but as I said the exposure was perfect, you couldn't do much about it, if you did, you'd lost the shadows of the leaves and the colour of the car
.
I made a workshop, shifting the sky into magenta, which made it more blue.


Best Regards
Stelios

Hi Jusni
Very nice presentation of this classic car, using the vegetation as framing and excellent contrast too.
Regards from Canada

Superb car in incredible colour. Fine photo.
Regards.

The cherry-red car under the cherry trees is a pleasing notion. I love the striking colour and the shadow on the car.

Here in Brazil, the Beetle is called Fusca. Nice photo of this so famous car. The tree shadows over the car result in a pretty effect.
the background is beautiful too.

Regards
Andre

Interesting composition and rich colors...nice shot

une photo superbe avec une grande maitrise des reflets et des ombres ! la voiture est tout simplement superbe (je suis fan des cox !)
bravo et bonne continuation

Hi Jusni, your pictures are very colourful, sometimes even ofersaturated. I like that one because of huge contrast between colours and perfect shading on the VW! I think that's most important factor of your photo. looks like Beetle advertisment! good luck..

VW Beetle ! In Brazil, we call it "Fusca" and this reminds me my first drive experience, in a yellow one. Good times, many years ago !
I like the combination of light and shadows provided by the leaves.
Congratulations !

hello jusni

a great car portrait indeed. i have seen gzillions of those here on TE (majority of them - plain boring) and, to be honest, yours is one of the best. there is some delicate balance in your composition: balance between light and shadow, balance between colors. the top-edge-framing is a very nice touch and the red is magnificently luminous and eye catching.

well done.

TFS
kristaps

ps. sorry about your cherry trees... but i can understand them - who would want to part with such a beetle...

Hi Jusni,
You've captured one of my favorite cars so very nicely here. Love the dappled light of the leaves on the vehicle and the shiny chrome. The trees frame it perfectly on the top. Very nice work. Shame the trees died:(
Laura

Salut Jusni..
Symap cette photo avec cette couleur brillante et les ombres sur la carrosserie..
Bravo
J'ai moi aussi pris une photo de coléoptère sur ma gallerie..mais un peu différente.. a voir..

Hi Jusni,
Wonderful capture of this classic auto of the 60's. Wonderful lighting gathers beautiful shadows on the well polished red that contrasts nicely with the surrounding green.
Regards, Tom

This was your ride? Such a beautiful little car and it seem that you took excellent care of the it. The bright colours sine under the tree and your story is very interesting. I really miss seeing these little bugs aroungs. The newer versions just don't seem to inspire the same feelings. Thanks Jusni :-)

Roberto

hi jusni
i love the framing of this shot. the branches over the over, gives the feel of a natural ceiling. the low POV covers the scene well. good contrast as well....well done.

Olá Jusni,
muito bonito seu exemplar do VW Sedan, esse parece equipado com rodas esportivas. A cor é bonita também, assim como a foto.
Parabéns pela foto, pelo carro e Abraço!

Bonjour Jusni
Quel dommage que vous ayez vendu ce bijou qui a la couleur de cerise lui-même! Je comprend le deuil de vos cerisiers!
L'ombrage des arbres semble le protéger en effet et l'environnement champêtre sert d'écrin à cette pièce de collection.
I wish I had one nowadays...because of the high price of fuel!
Au revoir, mon ami
Robert

Hi Jusni,
I'm happy to see this beautiful photo (excellent composition, colours and perfect lighting!) but I'm very sad to read about the trees! Well, I know that trees (plants/flowers etc) do have a soul of their own, they miss their "friends" or "masters" and really may die if they can't manage the loss. I have a tree (carambola) which misses me a lot when I go away to travel.
Best regards,
Elena

aaah very lovely beetle you had here...
