Hi Frank, Glad to know you enjoyed the pic. It would have been nice to spend more time at the site, get closer, work a bit with the old cars. Although a few people thought that being closer was the way to go on this shot, and, however right they may be (from the POV of another photographic perspective), I'm growing to like this pretty much the way it is, as well. Perhaps being closer, showing more detail, would diminish the sense of place that this shot shows, reduce the overall story to its component parts. Not that there's anything wrong with that, yet it's also nice to have an overview of a scene. Thanks for your comments.
