This is quite a nice photo of a classic car, though honestly what really pops out at me is that I wish to see more of the car in this photo. The focus of the picture being the headlights is nice, but it still gives the feeling of wanting to see the rest of the front of the car at least. The chrome color scheme to this is quite nice, and seems to fit so well with the classic car look. I would say that you have manage to take another beautiful photo, and this is really a nice classic car! ^^

I don't know if this applies to others but when you show me a classic car or a picture of one you immediately have my full attention. That's how I got here but lets talk about the photo a bit.
Having seen the color picture to compare this to I think it was a good idea that this is a black and white photo. It goes that photo and car character. Not only is the car antique but the photo feels antique too (even though it was taken with a modern DSLR). I think it makes the whole scene easier to appreciate if that makes any sense.
I think the focus on the headlights is great but I would have liked to see a little more of the body in the frame.

Love how angry these cars look, coming and going. Β It's a shame they toned down the '60s.

They're massive too which adds to it.

Nice shot, and the black and white treatment certainly looks great. A shot I took of a different '59 Buick, same corner, but different angle: [link]

I agree with the critique. The B&W goes along with the type of car that it is and it's a very well taken photo!

the use black and white really adds to the effect of the image

This photo instantly stood out to me among the three you posted
I think it was mainly due to the good balance between black and white (which suits this picture much better than colour) and the crystal clear image you managed to achieve. I particularly like the contrast between the shiny grill etc. with the rust on the bumper and the design on top

The crystal clear appearance of this photo leaves absolutely nothing to be desired- this is a perfect photo. I love it!

I also loved how sharp it looks and the black and white color. Should be in a car calendar, haha.
