Default Cropped Hot Rod

One day, while driving down the road, I spotted a beautiful '32 Ford hot rod in a church parking lot. I wheeled in to get a better look. It was beautiful. The color was amazing, and I wanted to capture it with my camera. The first two shots posted here are the best I could do since I couldn't move the car. In each of the shots, there is background clutter that detracts from the shot. Using the magic of digital photography and my trusty iMac, I tried to get better shots by cropping. The bottom two photos are the result.

Church parking lot? Lesson: All good cars go to photography heaven! Grand Canyon and old cars. My, we have a lot in common. Your crops make a good case for how easily our minds can suffice with letting a part stand for the whole. Beautiful crops!
