prickly/swishy

several vintage cars were parked nose in at a small parking area...the only solution was to switch to the wide angle lens, lean back on a grassy bank, and try and squeeze them in the frame...it was a rudely surprising moment though, as I sat on the grass only to have the spikes of several prickly holly leaves, fallen from the backing hedge, poke through the seat of my jeans...the immediate impression was quite a sharp one

this was the swishy model of the group, an old Studebaker

A grand ride indeed and shot from a very nice low angle. The reflections really standout nicely in the paint and chrome. Voted

Beautiful car, very well shot David. The result is, perhaps, worth the thorny circumstances you found yourself in.
