Default Classic Beauty

A classic Red Mustang, I saw in my parking lot. It was not well maintained, and had a bunch of add on's over the boot. I took the picture and to add a touch of the classics converted it to B&W with a brownish tint. I think the photo came out fine but I am a beginner and dont really understand the difference between a good and a bad shot. I am looking for critical comments and what I could have done different. The angle of the shot was challenging due to cars on either side. Thanks in advance.

It's an okay shot. I don't think that the sepia tone helps it at all. Also the sky is blown out and that can be distracting as it's the brightest spot in the photo, that's the first place your eyes go.

Thank you Gina. I agree that the sky is distracting.
