Looks good to me Godfrey, both the object and the technique. With that old tree and building behind it, it seems almost from another time and place.

Here's an older one I spotted in Brisbane, Australia in 2017. I don't know how old it is , but the overall body shape still looks similar to "yours" Godfrey. The bumpers have changed the most.

Of course, some dissectors have also said they find the fire hydrant distracting altogether. No problem...

Early Porsche 911 - Santa Clara 2020
😀

The 240Z was a really nice car. Inline 6, I think?
Google thinks it is a 912 🙂
I right-clicked on your image.
A very beautiful car indeed. Excellent image of it too.
So it is then a 911.
The 912 was released by Porsche because they were having problems selling the new 6-cyl to the old guard 356 lovers.
That is a nice looking 911. I prefer the darker color on the car in the original shot but everything else you've done with the picture is great.
Silver over red interior is a classic.
... I'd rather have what my eyes see than what a camera records...
I would rather show what my eyes see too. Getting that result straight out of my camera is my greatest challenge and why I enjoy photography.In the original shot, the silver car looks dark blue ... a reflection from the blue sky as well as because it was in the shade. I removed the blue sky and brightened the foreground so that it looked like what my eyes saw: I'd rather have what my eyes see than what a camera records. I'd have added exposure to the original capture, but the background where the lovely late sunlight was hitting was already right at the saturation limits with the exposure I made.

Yes... and often it's the color or quality of light that we see that may have caused us to make the photo.
Yesterday with my phone's camera I tried to capture backlit leaves against a golden sunset. The straight out-of-camera image just couldn't capture the golden color even with the tweaking provided by the phone.
