  A manipulated photo. Originally I made a very shiny HDR – and then later dimmed the effect a little.

    Yes, you can do a lot of it. You can mix them differently – so you can have a picture that looks natural, but you can also experiment with unnatural or strong colours.

Δεν είναι παλιό Rabirius,το μυαλό μας παλιώνει…το συγκεκριμένο αυτοκίνητο μας θυμίζει μια γλυκειά εποχή που χάθηκε ανεπιστρεπτί.

😮 Has it been abandoned in the wood?

  Actually more in the middle of the city (well, to be more exact, some suburb). It is standing in front of a house in a similar state of ruin…
  …and that for at least five years!

I was wondering the same thing as a previous comment: photo, digitally altered photo, or painting in the school of hyperrealism? Very nice!

  Than you very much.
  Well, as I mentioned, it was a HDR photo with very extreme colours that I later dimmed down a little.

Knowing Mercedes, it’ll probably still start first time.

    I had a ’67 Mercedes fintail that had done about 200k miles. The beast just didn’t know when to call it a day. 🙂

    That’s brilliant.
    My latest car was a Volkswagen – a very old one, but in really good shape – but sadly a truck trashed it and the insurance money wasn’t enough for a decent car…
    …so I got a bicycle instead 🙂

a mercedes last a lifetime, a lot of these are still running on malaysian roads, incredibly as taxis in the more remote areas.

  I never owned one – though this one is standing there fore more than 5 years now – and it doesn’t look very good anymore – though most likely one can get it to work again somehow.

Amazing work, congratulations !

Do the initials FSL refer to Frente Sandinista de Libertación (Nacional), and the abandonment of dreams, or is this just one more time the randomness becomes a coauthor ?

  Well, the F stands for the city – in this case Frankfurt – and the SL is normally random. Though I think you can pick your letters for some extra cash over here. But thinking that it means Frente Sandinista de Libertación makes the picture a lot more interesting 🙂
