2021 PHOTO CONTEST: Check out the story behind this year's Best Overall Photo winner! Don't miss his winning photo on our page:
 
"Hello!
I wanted to share a photo of my 1985 Alfa Romeo Spider. I bought it in 2005 as a sophomore in college, and I've driven it all over (Roughly 70k miles since I bought it). It's the first car I bought with my own money. The car started its life in Boston and eventually ended up in Michigan. I bought it there and brought it out to California. On snowy days in the mountains, I like to throw some sand bags in the trunk and see how far I can get. The most satisfying part is passing SUVs whose drivers can't figure out how to drive in the snow. 
 
This entry is a photo from my drive to Wrightwood, CA on the Crest Highway in the Angeles National Forest. The first photo is from Wrightwood proper. The second photo is what I drove through to get there. The engine, brakes, and suspension have all been beefed up. Now I just need to work on the interior.
 
Thanks!
Andrew N"

2021 PHOTO CONTEST: The votes are in, and the winner of the Best Overall Photo is Andrew N!
 
This stunning winter scene sets off Andrew's dark 1985 Alfa Romeo Spider, which has been staged and framed wonderfully. There are plenty of signs that Andrew knows how to compose a photo, but we'll let you photography buffs spot those on your own. Share your thoughts in the comments!
 
So, Andrew wins Best Overall Photo on the sheer quality and beauty of this photo, but we have some fantastic prize-winning cars lined up for you over the coming days. Keep a lookout for our prize winner announcements through next week!
