Master of composition

Andreas Feininger was one of my major inspirations when starting off in photography, yet this is the first time I've come across his colour work.
His technical abilities are incredible, but I believe he doesn't get the credit he deserves for his lifetime of work. I love the composition and detail in this transparency and the colours in the vehicles tone in superbly with the colours in the landscape.
