Great job!

What type of lens are you using for the 'vintage' photo look?

Thanks for the compliment.

I was using the "I set the white balance totally wrong lens"

Somehow it got changed off of Auto. Pisses me off cause it was cloudy all day and just as I finished the sun came out. The reflections were fantastic...

Looks great Pat but I wish the blue tint was missing so we could see the level of wetness.

It's a really beautiful car and judging from your past work the detailing is likely top notch.

I hear you on the clouds. The sun has been in & out all weekend.

Not too great for pictures.

Anyways.... the car looks really great, and I'm sure in person it looked unreal.
