I really like this set casil - many wonderful images here

Gosh thanks folks...you are all kind.

The main reason we went out was to capture Walter's (Pat's Dad) first vehicle. I thought for some reason he said '49 ford but it was a '39 dodge
It was sitting on the farm amidst an old pontiac and some old farming machinery. I took shots form almost every angle imaginable and had him open up the door for a few shots inside. We went to visit his 85yo mother who lives in a retirement community in the nearby town.When she was the photos she told me stories about how she used to drive it. I think it brought back some great memories for her.

I just processed this image for him and evenutally I am going to put them all on a disk and give it to him to have.....is it okay? I think he wants a few BW shots as well as he asked me about them.
I will probably end up giving this to him as an Xmas present also so please let me have your critiques even though not in the crit section.
Thank you all so much for your kindness and helpfulness again.

Any critique I might provide on this one would only make you start gilding the lily. Others with more experience may see something that I don't but I'd print it. In fact, if you are giving something like this as a present, I'd print it big. Forget 8x12 or even 16x24, I'd go at least to the 24x36 range

The converging lines between the truck and the combine head. The well exposed cloud cover, etc., etc. make a fine photo. Good eye and great capture.

Very cool in B&W!

Ditto!

Here's another angle of Walter's '39. My friend is watching my flickr posts and is quite estatic with the results so far!

Casil what an absolutely gorgeous set of photos, all are so very well done. I think you did a great series, they all fit and flows like they belong with each other. Nice. Now you just need to print them, frame them and find someone an establishment like a local market, restaurant, gallery and show them as a set, I am sure you would be able to sell some.
