Austin 7 Mk1 Winner!
Email from the judge . . .
There were a few nice images on this competition but yours stood out! I think you did a stellar job….
As for tips, I have looked through your website and it would be disrespectful for me to say anything. I think your work speaks for itself. But, if want something, good use of a Polarizer and nice side-lighting are the best ways to get a contemporary look and feel.
Good luck - and thanks for writing….

Final Destination The story behind the image.
I was initially introduced to the owners of this Austin 7 back in December.
John and Lyn invited me to view their farm after seeing my image 'An Old Friend' at the Barewall Gallery in Burslem.
I called in February to look at their tractor when I discovered the Mini. I returned in March to spend the day moving a giant pile of timber and other paraphernalia, which was covering the car. After hours of hard work I was filthy and exhausted, but ready to take my camera out of the bag!
I used props from all around the farm (returning them after).
Hours spent in Photoshop and then at the printer delivered the final result, but only after the 7th test print.
