The best I've seen yet. I really like the selective desaturation and the way you framed this.

I think this would have been great with a different background

I bet if the Mustang was red and your focus was just a tad deeper, so all the car was in focus, this would have scored a point higher. As you already know, DPC voters like purty colors.

Great idea though.

What a surprise! You are the macro master. Excellent shot, Jacko.

The idiot that gave this a 2, needs to be fed to the fish.

**Critique Club**

Hi Paul -

Positives:
Original idea using the mouse cable for the tail. The colors contrasting against the black background is a good effect as well.

Possible Improvements:
Definately too much sharpening, as all the edges are pixelated. I also notice what looks to be CA in all metallic surfaces. The crop seems to be a bit off. Maybe rotating just a bit so the trap on the left side is more in the bottom left corner, if that make sense. To me, it just appears it might flow a little better.

Overall I think it was a great idea for the challenge and composed well. I think the biggest problem was that you tried to salvage an out of focus (blurry) shot.

Hope you found the critique helpful.

Cheers!
Chris

good job Dave. This was one of my highest rated photos of the challenge. I like the sepia tone.
