That’s what I’m talking about! You’re awesome.

I really like knowing more about the photo - I think knowing the story behind it gives you a better glimpse into seeing the whole photo and not just the image on the screen. I hate that feeling of getting back and realizing you could have done one or two small things differently and change the whole dynamic of all of the photos you captured. But that’s the process!

The photo itself gives me that uncanny valley vibe because everything looks so old, the car, the black and white, the setting, the whole thing. But the photo itself is so clean and crispy and sharp it doesn’t fit in with the content of the photo. I guess there’s not too much you could do about that. Maybe a slower shutter speed and track the shot to smear the background a little would fix it for me.

Is this a crop of a larger image? I’m in the same boat as the other commenters @Candelestine and @MikeyMongol that the crop feels off. Not sure how I’d crop it to fix that…maybe chop off the back end of the car behind the wheel might make it feel better. I think it’s because the car feels like the subject due to its placement in the frame and the low angle of the photo. Then the people just happen to be in it and looking at the viewer which feels weird. I think a crop that took the focus off the car and brought the focus to the people would help make everything feel a little better.

Also I don’t think it looks too edited or anything like that.

P.S. Your other photos are sick!
