Oldsmobile

@melodee: Merci beaucoup

@leslie: Thank you and thanks for stopping by.

@standley: I think it is for sale, but not actively. It's in front of a building that has apparently been used for restoring old cars, but this car, and the one inside (not visible in this photo), look like they've been sitting there a very long time without any work being done on them. This car has flat tires. Perhaps the owner died, or is no longer able to work on them, or lost interest, and they will just sit there until someone has to do something.

@Amir: I'm not sure what year model this one is, I probably should have paid better attention.

@Ina: Thank you.

@Gary: I use Photomatix but I'm not always satisfied with the results. Sometimes the image looks too "thin" or washed out, so I've experimented with a number of techniques to improve depth and contrast. For this one I used Photomatix then added a layer on multiply and tried some of the Nik Color Efex filters like Pro Contrast.

@JoeB: HDR works very well on some things, not so well on others. In this particular image, for instance, I didn't much care for the effect on the roof of the car port.

@Bob: Thanks. I played with it quite a bit. For instance, I wasn't sure I wanted such cool shadows, but after warming them up, I decided cool was better.
