Hard to keep reflections down.
03/17/2009 06:03:31 PM
Yes. Blue VeeWee ;-) 7

I think the composition feels a little dull here, there's not much going on.
03/17/2009 07:06:16 AM
Striking rendition of this cobalt blue VW beetle.
03/17/2009 04:48:49 AM
Great car shot
03/16/2009 10:26:45 PM
Beetle. Interesting lighting and shadows. Looks like an early to mid-60's version.
03/16/2009 03:26:28 PM
Lovely color.
03/16/2009 03:11:12 PM
Good shot. Not a ribbon winner but good.
03/16/2009 01:58:14 AM
overprocessed, overexposed imo
03/15/2009 05:46:34 PM
nice old one also.
03/15/2009 05:42:33 PM
too blue
03/15/2009 04:43:44 PM
Nice colors and detail.
03/15/2009 11:58:20 AM
Very blue and shiny, almost metallic looking, neat.
03/15/2009 11:43:28 AM
Simple yet striking...
03/15/2009 06:43:16 AM
blue is the vw beetle , blue is the whole picture...
Im blue daba di daba de...

why is the whole thing blue? are you blue to?

thx, brano
03/15/2009 03:02:42 AM
Too much cyan hues in this shot IMO and lacks the wow to score really high
03/14/2009 10:54:18 PM
I like how the bug matches the road, but I find the composition a little static.
03/14/2009 07:08:28 PM
still love those old VW´s
03/14/2009 03:46:10 PM
Hm.. not sure what it is but somethings just not doing it on this shot. Maybe a tighter shot?
03/14/2009 03:15:15 PM
Very blue. I like the metallic look on th highlights.
03/14/2009 12:53:17 PM
Colors feel a bit over saturated.
03/14/2009 11:22:27 AM
good use of saturation
03/14/2009 10:59:22 AM
I like the processing here. Adds to the vintage feel of this...
03/14/2009 09:39:14 AM
Great color composition.
03/14/2009 02:17:23 AM
Great car! I love the blue against the yellow background.
03/14/2009 12:01:37 AM
Not your typical hues here, but they really work and give this little bug and the photo a great arty look...nicely done!
03/13/2009 10:23:54 PM
Nice complementary tones in the wall behind the blue.
03/13/2009 09:29:03 PM
Nice lines, I'd be tempted to use some LUCIS art on this just to emphasize the lines..... 6
03/13/2009 09:09:17 PM
That a real classic. Well preserved and nicely photographed.
03/13/2009 12:40:31 PM
I'd be interested in seeing an alternate version with a square crop and more wall being shown. Good shot as is.
03/13/2009 12:30:03 PM
Oh yeah baby! 1966? Too bad about the reflected building, but it's OK. I think you chose good processing techniques.
03/13/2009 11:15:48 AM
i like the saturated blue and the reflections in the car
03/13/2009 10:59:58 AM
i like the car and the reflections off of it, but the crop has me confused. did you crop this to make it flat? if so, its still a little crooked. the lines on the wall behind it make me think that maybe it was on a hill, and if so i would have left it cropped as if it was on a hill. that would have a cool feel to it. it just confuses me is all, sorry for the long comment
03/13/2009 08:49:33 AM
I used to own one and miss it. hahah. Nice colors and the plain wall in the back is great.
03/13/2009 07:51:04 AM
the title says it all
03/13/2009 07:01:42 AM
Nice and simple.
03/13/2009 03:18:37 AM
It's almost impossible to take a bad photograph of a VW beetle. The simpler ones are best. This is a good one. 7.
03/12/2009 09:27:51 PM
nice PP, has a good feel to it
03/12/2009 04:31:56 PM
just needs a mike in front of it...(VW commercials) really like the colors and focus...
03/12/2009 02:53:09 PM
well composed image, nice contrast and colors, maybe cropped a little more from the bottom, and open from the top?
03/12/2009 11:51:44 AM
Nice color but a little lacking in composition. Ask yourself: What's my background and does it compliment the photo? What do you want the viewer to take away from the photo, other than the obvious? Is this a stock photo or does it tell a story?
03/12/2009 09:38:01 AM
I like the plain backdrop, makes the car stand out well
03/12/2009 01:53:51 AM
Nice classic shot for the classic VW. The people car.
03/11/2009 09:03:05 PM
A classic!
03/11/2009 07:34:05 PM
The classic VW Bug. Funny how they still make me smile after all these years.
03/11/2009 06:41:28 PM
A little dark in the lower half loses a bit of definition especially in the tires.
03/11/2009 05:45:55 PM
This photo has a very european feel .
03/11/2009 09:32:34 AM
I like the car, but the shot is a bit boring
03/11/2009 07:51:09 AM
Great treatment, love the colours and composition. Best of luck. 8
03/11/2009 05:32:11 AM
simple.
03/11/2009 04:50:22 AM
interesting it looks as if 1/2 is on the curb
03/11/2009 03:32:46 AM
a classic
03/11/2009 02:33:59 AM
Great subject.

Think the crop is a bit tight, perhaps a less centered composition.
03/11/2009 01:12:53 AM
love the color of the car against the pavement
