Nine seconds with Tesla

Comment by bohemka:
I like the title a lot. I think the problem, if indeed there is one, is that it's a bit too static (no pun intended!). It's a tight crop, no environment, no context. I think for stand-alone shots like this to really wow voters, it needs a level of detail that just pops off the screen, and unfortunately, due to the blur of motion, this does not have that. Nice colors, nice idea, and, again, a really nice title, but I think a bit more context is needed for this to have a real impact. Just a poor man's opinion, of course.

Challenge Accepted!

Comment by SaraR:
Stefan, you asked for some feedback on your entries, so hope here goes!

I gave this a 5. The positives - the entry met the challenge well; the composition has been carefully considered and is good, with an aesthetically pleasing symmetry. I was less convinced by the 'authenticity' of the shot - bits just didn't quite ring true, the very dirty boots, but well manicured nails, clean hands and cardboard sign. For me, though, the biggest drawback of the image was the style of processing. I note that some commenters admired the textures in your photo, but I feel your choice of processing diminished them.

Hope this helps!
