Great story Paul and just a wonderful picture. Even though its posed,it still has that spur of the moment feel. You captured 2 people and their auto perfectly. Great exposure and detail in this shot. Reminds me of my highschool days with all those 50's and 60' cars in the school parking lot. Natural lighting with that slow shutter then.? Dave
