Spotted this guy in the main square of Cassel. He was driving with his wife to Italy in this 36 year ald restored Morris Minor convetable, using back roads only, 200-300 km a day, sounds like fun to me.

Hi Richard

I like the pov & appropriate backdrop, but I would crop a little more from the right, so the spacing is symmetrical. Good colour, lighting, & sharpness. Well done.

The old Morris Minor eh? Lovely car. I like the juxtaposition of the car and the ancient building behind, as well as the layers of irony.
Very nicely seen,
Francis

As I opened this shot my wife who normally shows no interest in TE but used to have a Moggy Thou (Morris Minor 1000 to the uninitiated) leeant over my shoulder and drooled.It is a great car a really good lovation and the low angle and use of a wide angle lens makes this a cracking shot.
