Smithfield, Rhode Island

There is a Classic Car Cruise Night every Tuesday at the A&W Root Beer drive-in in Smithfield. The A&W is a 1950s icon although, despite the "Turn Lights on For Service" signs, they no longer have waitresses on roller skates delivering food to your car. Still, I thought the setting would be interesting with classic cars parked in front. I was hoping for some "Happy Days" era cars here, but none were parked in a location that showed the A&W as well as these two.

Post processing started with a neutral filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, and boost white. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2014/i-CfZjKqS/0/XL/2014%2008%2005_0016%20copy-XL.jpg
