Awesome photo, love it!

Rick, this is spectacular. I like to push my abandoned subject photos right up to that line between real and not and this is right there. Stunning. Did you clean the windshield first or do that in post?

I love seeing this sort of photo, it shuts the art critics up. "taking pictures can never be real art" art is always in the eye of the beholder! How did you get the effect, did you use some sort of cross process post? I have got this effect before by slight over exposer, as I read in national geo that it was a requirement of acceptance before they would print your shots.I tried it and I used to call it the Polaroid effect! Any how, keep on doing what your doing and I'll keep looking at your work.

Really love the texture and colour contrast in this. If you are interested in critique I would be tempted to try to erase the three long bits of grass in front of the grill as they distract a little from the subject and getting rid of them I think would help.

I particularly like the way the front wing looks
