This concept is always a pleasure to look at, especially when it is well done like this - good work.

How come one of my 10's is way back here? And I am amazed that this got three 1's, that is so insulting!

What's this doing way back here? This postcard is far too good for place 52!

Gudday Matt. Sorry but you're going to have to live with my critique on your pic now so brace yourself.

This is a very good photo, the quality of which I would expect from you. It did well in the challenge, 28th place out of 248 entries is something to be proud of considering the amount of choice entries in the transportation challenge. Congratulations!

The heavy flourescent lighting effect which is invariably caused from shooting at long shutter speeds at night has created a fantastic effect. The shutter speed you chose, 13 seconds was the maximum you could have used, maybe 11 or 12 would have been better as you can see the lighting just starting to blow out on the driver's door. (whoops, you're in Britain, I mean the passenger's door then!)

The raindrops only add to the effect, even though they give the impression(as Jacko commented) of sandpaper. The color mix is what really works here, the yellows and the blues together make this image pleasant to look at. The windscreen being the same color as the sky fits in well.

I find the composition/cropping ideal, I don't think changing anything there would have had much more effect. Maybe including the full headlight might have done something, but my opinion it is a top shot just as it is.

Okay Matt? Helpful? If not call my lawyer.

Looks kind of like candy :-) Nice colors and detail. What is that in the middle? A leaf?

Simple but effective. I like the color combination of white and aqua, good.

By the look for the buildings in the background I guess this is a church window right? Good example for the glass challenge, everything is in focus. Good luck.

This is very abstract for sure. The blue and purple work well together. How did you manage to achieve a dead white background like that?
