This image is great cos it tells a story. I just love the atmosphere aswell, and the little detail of the lizard just tops it off! Congrats

I love the lizard. It adds to the feel that the car is being taken over by forces other than human.

Cute shot, lizard matches so well with that old car, the green I mean.

Quite a story behind this image – the earth reclaims all. Looks like it might be home to many little creatures. Great shot!

We had a Morris Minor when we were young, it pinked and didn’t go above thirty miles per hour, but it was a great little car. Ours really was green, unlike this one that is covered in algae. Its a good picture; evocative, well composed.

Well captured. It’s a sad funny image if you know what I mean.

What is the red in the driver’s seat? Is is it the soul of the car that lives on?!!
Excellent shot. The red really pulls the eye firmly towards the car again and again and gives the image a strong anchor point.

Love the colors and the beautiful car as a subject. I do think the crop is way too tight on both ends though.

But the tight crop accentuates the feeling of the poor thing being stuck (in its state of decay)

That’s one way of putting it Anurag. ;) I just think the crop is way too tight and that distracts me.

the owner or relatives should really restore that car so sad to see in that condition

I like the way the bumper is positioned as though the old girl is still smiling.

This is wonderful, love junk art, there is beauty in decay.

22nd July 2009 at 5:48 pm

Does it still run I wonder? Very cool picture though.
