I love the sinister (or perhaps just slightly inebriated) hand reaching through the window. Your post processing is fantastic as always. Cool shot!

An extraordinary image. The disembodied hand makes us wonder if this is really burger heaven. This is a brilliant image.

Oh, this brings back great memories. Make it a burger, fries and a chocolate shake...and it doesn't end up on the hips. Those were the days. That hand is MINE!

Excellent composition. Superb processing. (Read on another post that you were from Flagstaff; we lived there through most of the 80s.)

J'aime beaucoup! Une photo à l'ambiance ancienne mais avec une touche de modernité avec ce rouge éclatant.
J'aimerais bien aussi la voir en n/b...

Imaginative shot. You have one of these trays at home or what? One of the challenges for doing shots like this is to find a way to stage them without spending a bunch of money.

@Twelvebit: What makes you think it is staged ?? ":)) Fact is I shot this at a car show. It was equipped with everything but the hand.

I guess I don't know why, but partly, it was a sloppy use of the language. Even though I'm familiar with your work I thought of the image as being shot with someone in the car rather than composited --which is, of course, the simplest and most logical explanation.

Marc, I suppose I'm missing something, cause I don't know who those "Cunningham" guys are, but I smiled with the caption. I like the photo, of course, the selective desaturation, coloring and lighting are great. This "ca- hamburguer service" it's a part of the American culture that here, in Spain, we aren't still too much familiar with.
