Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
Fabulous Kylie. Almost an abstract with this angle and depth-of-field. I love the piece of wire coming out of the window slot. A very cool image.

Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
Kylie!Tu as certainement penser à mettre un champs moins réduit , la voiture soi moins flou de l'arrière, vu que tu étais en 1/1600 second ,les proportions son très bien . Je sais que dans la vie il faut faire ce qu'on n'aime. Toujours très recherche tes shoots, continu à nous donner de toi même, tu va de mieux en mieux dans l'art de la photo. PS : Je t'invite à partage les bananes !!!!
30 Jul 2008 6:25am
@Siam: Le Siam… la traduction est aujourd'hui difficile, est-ce que mais je pense que je comprends ce que vous essayez de dire, vous aime la profondeur du champ et m'invitez-vous à venir essayer les bananes ? Merci de votre commentaire ici au sujet de ma photographie obtenant meilleure et l'améliorer, cela est un si beau compliment. J'espère vous comprenez que cet ok de traduction… apprécier le reste de votre jour !

Arps from Hyderabad, India
Amazing pic Kylie. Wonder what this car looked like when it was new!!
30 Jul 2008 6:27am
@Arps: I have wondered this also Arps... it's actually a truck as you will see tomorrow.. .the images are quite deceiving aren't they! Thanks for your comments here, much appreciated.
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Beau sujet et magnifiques et chaudes couleurs. Mais personnellement j'aurais mis une profondeur de champs moins réduite afin de mieux apprécier la texture de ce métal rouillé qui ici est beaucoup dans le flou... mais cela reste une question de goût. ;-)
30 Jul 2008 6:34am
@Evelyne Dubos: Merci de l'arrêt par et pour vos commentaires, oui vous faites intersting au sujet de la profondeur du champ, car je tire ceci d'une série que j'ai voulu obtenir un sens de mystère à son sujet et l'indiquer une couche à la fois, image de demains est différente encore et sans une profondeur de champ si. Merci encore.
linerberry from New Zealand
Amazing!! Rust is certainly an apt title. Its a fab series, I feel like I'm getting to know the vehicle bit by bit and feel there must be a story behind its existance and eventual demise.....
30 Jul 2008 6:55am
@linerberry: thank you so much Linerberry, great to see your comments link back to your page now :o). I am not sure of the story behind it or its demise, but what I like most about it was that it almost told a story on its own. Thanks for dropping by.
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Another strong composition using DOF very effectively. Like the minimal colors as well.
30 Jul 2008 6:55am

Vink from French riviera - Grasse, France
Tu parles un peu Français, Kylie ?
J'aime beaucoup la texture de ta photo ; la rouille de ce vieux véhicule offre des teintes superbes et des couleurs uniques ! Par contre le flou en arrière plan qui occupe un peu trop de place sur le cliché me gêne un peu.
30 Jul 2008 7:36am
@Vink: Merci, du highschool et l'aide d'un traducteur, merci pour vos commentaires et de visiter ma page.
@Marion: Thanks for your comments Marion, much appreciated.

Jason Kravitz from Brussels, Belgium
great texture on this one - the whole photo looks like it would be fuzzy to the touch
30 Jul 2008 8:24am
@Jason Kravitz: Thanks Jason... yes the HDR blew it out a little, I thought it was worth for the great colour. Thanks for stopping by.

intriguing series!!! wondering what it would take to restore this classic
30 Jul 2008 9:02am
@Viper: Thanks Viper.... not sure but tomorrow you will see she's a tired old gal...but very beautiful if an old truck can be that. I imagine it would take a hell of a lot of work! Thanks for your comments here!

linerberry from New Zealand
Yeah Thanks Kylie, I wasn't aware that my comments didn't have a link back to my blog until Nataly pointed that out. With a bit of research I realised that all i had to do was delete a / forward slash from my web address...life is simple sometimes....

Wow Kylie, this is impressive! I really like the shallow depth and the focus being on such a small area. Great textures and details!

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
A great image, Kylie. I like how you have that narrow depth of field, and where you've chosen to place the point of focus.

Wonderful colours ! Good choice of focal.

Liset from Tallahassee, United States
Hi Kylie, thanks for visiting me. I don't know if you realized that I have two photos of old abandoned cars. I have many more that I intend to upload but haven't done it yet. It's amazing that, in two different parts of the world, we photographed almost the same subjects in this case. Besides you have a green grasshopper and I also have one, haha, it's amazing.
I loved all your photos!
7 Aug 2008 12:48pm
@Liset: No I didn't realise, wow, I will be sure to check it out. Thanks for your comments and stopping by! Seems we have a similar eye for detail :o)
Melissa W. from Warsaw, Indiana, United States
Your images are incredible...beautiful work, very inspiring.
Love this image in particular. I love the shallow dof and composition, but what I love more is your subject. There's something about old, rusty, abandon things that really stir up emotions. Things that have been left forgotten waiting for someone to notice them.
Also, thanks for taking the time to visit my pblog.
