Perhaps a touch too much HDR?

Clearly, it's all down to very personal taste. But take a look here http://www.historiccarart.net/acatalog/

I like John Ketchell's stuff, but it goes for more than you want to spend smile

Apparently this qualifies as 'art' in many people's eyes:

Isn't there a PHer who is a very good artist?

Can't remember his name at the moment but his work is excellent.

I can't even begin to pretend to know anything about art. I think by and large it's a load of bks and what is good is based on your own opinion on if you like something or not. And Tracey Emin needs a good bath.

Anyway, this is a mate of mine's stuff which I really like.

The 1950s Le Mans 24 hour posters are fantastic, especially with a nice frame. And well under your budget too. I've got a 1953 one, which everyone comments on favourably.
