March of the Compacts

    These are from my first actual photo-taking trip after deciding to take up photography, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI.

      Nice composition - I think if I arranged the cars I'd park them with the oldest at the front. Better design IMO.

      Smartly composed--if this is your first attempt, you're going to be good.

      You managed the depth of field here very well. Have you thought about a crop just above the Escorts bumper and just enough from the right to get rid of that distraction on the floor? That crop will bring focus to the older cars, still give a hint of the modern Escort and get rid of some of the distracting overhead lights/ceiling and retain the leading line of the platform.

      That's a good suggestion but I really wanted to have the headlight on the shot to make the Escort protrude at ya.

      This'll be the only chance for Michiganders to see an old Escort is such pristine shape :) I knew where this was right away. great capture!
