A case of poor background? Hard to see the 'subject', which is why I did not as I passed close by. Possibly a Red Diamondback? Sharon would know, maybe when she gets back we will know!

Muong women walking home after a hard day's toil in the tea fields of Long Coc in north Vietnam. I can count at least a dozen layers of overlapping tea hills in the background.
On a light background, shadows, silhouettes.. Glass.. against the background of light.
Silhouettes of glass and dried flowers. Light and shadow..
You’re looking at a 1938 Cadillac 75 2-Door Convertible which just about didn’t make it off the drawing boards, as far as this composite goes. Both, the picture of the large barn-like structure in the background and the picture of this ’38 Caddy were recorded at the Grand Experience classic auto show at the Gilmore Museum in 2014 ……….but at different times, different locations and under slightly different lighting condition. The “time and place” posed no particular problem but the lighting conditions were the challenge which, quite frankly, I believe I have not fully overcome. Shadow, shadow……everywhere a shadow,
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you do the shadow?
I told myself I would never attempt to place a car into a mixed lighting area (part sunlight, part in shadow) but as you see I did and although I attempted using about fifty different mixed shadow effects (as reflected on a portion of the car’s body by the tree on the far right), nothing looked right or believable. At somewhere around fifty, I threw up my hands and said - well, you don’t really want to hear what I said so let’s just say, I was at my wits end. I am sure if one looks at this scene critically, one will spot the inconsistencies, so don’t look at this scene critically. Just squint your eyes and imagine that everything in the picture is hunky-dory.
I believe the following, which was obtained from the conceptcarz web site pertains to ‘this particular car’ but without having the chassis number, I can’t be positive. Here is what conceptcarz/Daniel Vaughn writes I believe about, this car.
Coachwork: Fleetwood
Chassis Num: 3271250
High bid of $65,000 at 2008 RM Sothebys. (did not sell)
For 1938, Cadillac moved the headlamps into the front fenders for the up-market Series 65 and Fleetwood Series 75 models. The bodies became more curvaceous than that of the prior models, particularly from the rear. Optional dual sidemounts covers were hinged to the fenders. Quarter windows were sliding rather than hinged construction. Technical innovations for 1938 included column shift, a transverse muffler just behind the fuel tank, new wheels, a hypoid rear axle, horns hidden behind the grille, and a Synchro-Flex flywheel.
The Series 75 was given an increase in compression which lifted horsepower to 140. * Sporty looking but certainly not a speed demon.
This particular example wears an older restoration and painted in a soft yellow color. There are wide whitewall tires, a tan cloth top and refinished chrome accents. The interior upholstery is dark brown leather, and the dashboard is dark chocolate brown.
In 2008 this 1938 Cadillac Series 75 Convertible Coupe was brought to RM Auctions 'Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook' where it was estimated to sell for $75,000-$100,000. A high bid of $65,000 failed to satisfy the reserve and the car was left unsold.

PS: I know who the current owner is and where he lives but I would rather not say under this format. Actually, it’s immaterial since I know that I don’t! (own it, that is ;)
Hope ya’all enjoy…………………..

A beautiful white Magnolia grandiflora flower with interesting folded petals on the background of dark green leaves. I always thought they were only spring flowering but there were several on the tree. At Wilson Botanic Park. For my 100x flower project
