Old Style Motor racing.

Got this shot at the Goodwood Revival a few weeks ago. My intention was for it to look as if it was taken in the age of the cars racing 1930s - 40s. Does it work?

Your image works very well as it has a nice amount of noise to give it a grainy feel. The only thing I can think of that might work is to give it a sepia boost just to give it that old aged look.

The grain in the shot defintely works. Another possibility is to add the equivelant of vignetting that some old cameras produced.

yep agree with the other comments............ vignette and sepia i think would definately just finish it off

Other than the Sepia treatment others have mentioned I would say the shot works very well.
