Excellent shot; I'm predicting a ribbon.

Woah. Now see, I love this. I swear, people look like their cars. I could see an old man with far-apart eyes & long, skinny, gapped teeth driving this thing (providing it was able to be driven.) Great photograph, and it made me think. 10 for sure!

Its a very nice photo. I like the condition of the car, it emphasizes rustyness. How did it look in color? It might have brought out more of the rust.

I like the contrast and b/w in this shot. Its grainy quality also adds to the aging vibe. The open doors almost make it seem alive, betraying its original look of being a relic. Great shot!

beautiful watercolor or pen and ink quality to this - I love the face, the wide open doors. Your framing and composition is excellent. Good luck!

I'm not sure spia tone works on a rust challenge. Nice picture. Good composition and tone/contrast.

This looks slightly oversharpened and therefore has a bit of digital noise about, but it's the only photo (so far) that is duotone and NOT red, so points for creativity! Nice composition. 8

Would have scored it even higher if the rust was move evident, ie. in full colour.

I like the pose and the sepia tone. Good lighting. Love doors and trunk being open.

An 8.

Wow .. what a great shot .. the sepia is great here and your composition is great. I'm not sure if the sepia sort of hides the rust (I know the dark areas are rusted ... but that is just because know what the car would be like in person), but this way the rust doesn't seem to be the first thing you see or think about.

I'm sure I've seen this shot before?

I think to see the rust it would have been better to leave this in color, but aside from the challenge the pic looks perfect the way it is

I really like how it looks like a grimacing face. The sepia really suits it. Lovely.

the sepia doesn't work as well in the rust challenge
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I won't be the only one to say this... using sepia in a photo of rust really doesn't work! Shame as the composition is fantastic

Very nice! Top 3 I hope. Love the sepia for this, makes it really stand out.
