Laurentian in the Garden

Found this guy racing the truck in the background yesterday. He stayed still long enough for me to take this picture, then continued on.

As usual, bonus points to whoever helps me identify the model year.

Thanks for looking...

Nice shot.

1960?

I love this. Looks like a 62 or so.

Nice shot - did you try it in B&W too?

That's what most people on forums seem to think, so I'm using that year for my tagging. Thanks much!

I did, but the beauty of those green and yellow plants was lost, so I trashed it.

Thanks all for the feedback!

True, the colours of the plants add a carnival feel, which makes it feel more like a "race" (a really, really slow race, though, heh)

The only thought I had about the B&W was related to the sky (as per several of your other shots that I really like), but a dramatic B&W sky (aka a "christine" type shot) probably wouldn't have added anything to your intentions for this one. I still really like the this one either way!

I think that this one would benefit from a cloudy (not overcast) sky... yet I'd still process it in colour. The "Christine" type of sky )) might not add to this scene, unless maybe if I shoot it in the winter, with a foot of snow around the car – then a B&W conversion would be rockin'!

Oh yeah, a B&W winter shot of that would be pretty sweet! Hope you get the chance to go back then.
