Great find, and feeing in this shot, but I am bothered by a few things. My main issue is that you took the middle path on the distance from your subject, so the two are pretty balanced, but I don't feel they should be. If you got in tighter on the car it would be more car in odd location; If you moved back it would be more landscape with car dumped on it. As it is it has a more documentary feel than artistic. Does that make any sense?

The other two points are minor quibbles that would be more in the arena of how to score better here than how to make better photographs.
The overall image is soft focally. If you crunched it through a sharpening filter a few times it would be more easily accepted. the second point is even more awful to say, but the horizon is not flat. i can see that the trees are growing straight up and that you have not tilted a flat horizon, but if you want a few more points, you need to flatten that horizon , even if the trees go out of 90% a degree or two.

Third point; clever titles bring up the score half a point, incomplete or misspelled title cost you points.

The more I look at this shot the more I like it, but it flies in the face of all things DPC.
