My turn to thank for your feedback, I can see where you're heading now. I can see a tighter framing work, too but I guess it hadn't occurred to me... > Ah, you found my controversial Isetta shot.

Thanks for enlightening me =) Finally, perused your gallery some more and saw this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bruce_m_walker/2982219869/in/set-72157607590047251/ My first association was actually a Citroen DS revival concept car - if you do an image search you'll find a similarity to the earlier DS models with the more slanted headlamps. Shame to see what Citroen is using the DS moniker for these days... make a New Beetle look good all of a sudden...
