Rick,Ken,Paul Thanks for you comments and critique. I agree about the
background although I did think it was better in B&W but that lost the
lovely reds.
I shall have a go at cloning or maybe this would be a good time to learn
compositing and drop in a whole new background. I have wanted to try
that. Thanks to everyone for their help.

Pretty much the way it was around where I grew up - north Jersey - with an
occasional Chrysler fan thrown in just for diversity. My family was totally
FORD !
When I interviewed G.M I was totally turned off by their attitude -
especially Chevrolet - making me feel priviliged if they offered me a job. I
interviewed Ford and was offered the job during the interview and from that
time till now my family has been a Ford family.
Back in the late 60's there wasn't much significant differences between
Fords or Chevies except for the styling.
Alot has changed over the years.
I like the image you captured BTW, I just wish the background was more out
of focus - it detracts from the vehicle.

In Chicago, GM and Ford dominated as well. Our first family car was a Ford, but
my dad was truly an independent thinker, so he followed up with a Rambler, than
a couple of Oldsmobiles.
I grew up lusting over automobiles made in Detroit, and as a young adult had success
racing machines that at least looked like big three products, but that early fondness for
things Motown was torn asunder in later years. My first jobs in advertising were for the
Europeans, Jaguar and Mercedes, at NY agencies. Ford's Lincoln/Mercury agency, Young and
Rubicam, talked me into coming to Detroit as creative director on the Lincoln business in
the early nineties. At the time, Ford's style of management was "shit flows
downhill," and the ad agency was at the bottom of the hill. The two years I spent on
that business were the most miserable of my life. A couple of years at GM's Buick agency,
McCann Erickson, were slightly better, but I wasn't really comfortable in the Motor City
until I got on the Dodge account at BBDO. That was a great place to work, and Dodge was a
great client. Of course that piece of business went to hell when management sold their
souls to a devil named Daimler, but
I had ten great years there. After 23 years in metro Detroit, I've grown accustomed to this place. These days I work primarily as a journalist, and the car companies that once beat me up go out of their way to make me happy. And that's as it should be:-).
Nice pic. I would clone out the distracting background elements and replace
them with the tree lines, blurring as necessary. But I'm a clone-tool whore

I like it, but the background is a bit of a problem: it looks as though the bright red play
structure is on the tailgate of the truck. ' Rick On Dec 10, 2013, at 4:11 PM, Don Guthrie wrote:
