Fountains shot through two car windows and a windshield. I like the repeating angled geometric shapes, with repetition in the architecture and shadows in the back.

Sorry but this looks very snapshot-ish for me, doesn´t really seem all that thought out. Last minute submission? Next time, get in closer and make sure you get the whole fountain, that at least would have been better.

This doesn't work - the car looks as if it's in the way instead of being the frame.

hrmm...compositionall, this shot is really lacking...I'd say think composition when you're out taking pictures, try and view the final product through your viewfinder as you shoot...think rule of thirds or leading lines...etc...

Composition strikes me as chaotic.

I am sorry to say but this idea is not good. To much distraction in it.

This image seems to be very bitty and It is hard to know where to actually look
The use of the car window is good but it really does not frame an interesting part of your image

I don't see what this gains from being such a very wide shot - at least, given your title as a guide to your intended subject. For instance - the rear-view mirror would have been enough to suggest 'car' to us, and getting that close would have allowed us a much more detailed view of the fountains. There's a certain interest in tha shapes of the talisman and the water, but it's swamped by the broadness of your frame, i think.

a very contrasty scene so darks are a little dark and whites are blown out. Very tough to capture

This may have worked better if we had seen more of the fountains through the window

It's hard to see the fountains from this angle. A different angle might make it more interesting.

A little on the busy side and I am not sure what the window is framing. It's a great idea and has some real potential with a better angle.

It's hard to tell what is being framed here.
