The Alfa is a revelation after years of overweight GTs masquerading
As sports car.
I cannot overemphasize how different (and for me, pleasurable) a light sports car is to a heavier one, in ways that are no immediately obvious.
More on the Alfa soon, I hope.
Very interesting points about the 308, were they from personal experience? I'd love to read more of they were...
Thanks for your post!
Nice car pics, nice scenery, but perhaps boring?
Some would say any picture with a Ferrari or Alfa Romeo in situ can never be boring to a car guy, but what about as a photograph, where the overall IMAGE and its visual impact is as important as the subject? Are these just plain, boring shots? If so, what...

All excellent comments and suggestions, thanks!
Appreciate the detailed comments, and thanks for posting!
they are car shots ; )
that last shot is the hook for non-car viewers... also notice the white line in the last shot vs. the second to last shot. The first three could be cropped even drastically, viewers would add the missing bits without thinking about it (loose the walking p...
I like the power of suggestion in your first picture.
Suggesting rather than showing... That's my stuff. Best, Thomas. Nicolas
Paint the cars red
barring that, I might do some minor editing to the pavement to lose the distracting patches rather than hosing them down as Casey suggested. For sure, I\'d crop out that "Botts" dot on the last one, and maybe turn up the saturation a little more on the la...
