Love the focus, but...

I need more.

It seems cropped off.

Hey there Paul,

Oh Lordy,I would get an SC member's image to critique! 8-O So here goes:

Artistic: Looks like a cool idea just waiting for a little something more, maybe some painting with light, just to make it pop and come alive, to draw more attention to the shapes. I think voters may have had difficulty seeing the more apparent metal-on-metal shots, which dominate the challenge. That would also help explain the lack of comments :-/

Technical: I like the 3/4 overhead perspective, reminds me of a shot of a Rockies taken from a plane. Composition is decent, with the blue in the bottom left draws the eye first, then the 'range' in the right bg. And shooting something as highly reflective as metal can add both glare and missed focus, as metal can be soft or hard. A little burning on one side of the hills may have heped a bit. Also, wondering what this would look like in b/w?

Overall: I like the way you take risks, but still stick with what rings true with you. Not a bad attempt, but maybe try some of the suggestions and see how things shake out.

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

...all that glitters. Nicely photographed and good taming of those lights.

Nice concept and I like it, though I'd prefer the white car to run horizontally on the first picture, to stress the inevitability of the accident

Comment by Purple_Girl:
I like the idea of the two frames of the cars speeding and the final 'crash' frame. I wish the image was a bit bigger though, it could maybe have done with a thinner border, the border is a bit too eye-catching from the subject. The shadow at the bottom of the first two frames is also a bit distracting. Marks for the idea and set-up (cool little road) but execution is kinda lacking.

I think the color version is pretty nice! You can never tell from challenge to challenge what the voters will be in the mood for though ;)
