coche antiquo -4-, a photo from La Habana, West

Photographer's Note

…With the development of the automobile industry, the following years leads to the appearance of fantastic new models, mostly American, but also French and English.
Yet, hard to predict, in those days was that Cuba would be “overruned” by these “beauties” forever…

p.s.
this shot was taken from a coco(nut) taxi!

Yes, true, the result leaving Cuba as the world's largest and most interesting motor museum. At least they now recognise it phenomenon as a tourist attraction, which is likely to help preserve it after it ceases to be a necessity. Nice clear shot here.

Hi Rui

For a "shot-from-coco(nut)-taxi" is very fine! Good catch of the move and fine colors. Well done.

Rui,
Outra excelente composição aqui. Você poderia oferecer essas suas fotos para publicação em uma revista automobilística. Elas fariam sucesso.

Abraço.

Hi Rui,

Magnificent shot. Perfect lighting and colours and a beutiful car. The is a little blurred adds an extra dimension the car is in motion. I really enjoy the driver's hand on the steering wheel while the driver himself is almost invisible in the shades.

Cheers,

Ulf
