Hi. I am new to this site, and feeling my way.

I know this is a photo from nearly 6 years ago, but I consider this one a "high tide" mark for my personal photography growth. Unfortunately, the tide has started to go out. It was slowly at first, but now I feel that I have been a bit of a slump, since Covid at least.

The photo was a simple opportunity take. It was a nice sunny car event in early spring in Adelaide Australia. The cars were lined up in rows ready to depart and the glistening paint with spot on directional lighting caught my eye.

The cropping is a little awkward, but it was hard to decide whether I keep the number plate or not.

The other glaring issue with this photo is the white label on the windscreen. Typically, with my personal film photography, I use a rule of "fix what I would fix in the darkroom". Also, I have to admit, at the time, my PS skills prevented me from taking this element away and making it look realistic. Maybe I should revisit some
