The desk meets the challenge. I think the pictures on the wall detract from the effect; could have been cropped in to include just the desk and shelf.

Photo is clear enough, but the subject has no interest to me.

KROQ - Nice! :) I think the glare in the picture frames is a bit distracting and there's a bit too much lighting on the books and papers. Try backing up a bit and lighting with candle light or something colorful. Slow shutter on a tripod maybe even to increase saturation.

Not a lot of interest here...

Yep, this is a pretty chaotic looking work area. It looks almost as messy as mine. The composition of this image is, unfortunately, perhaps a bit too unorganized. There is no rela centre of interest, as far as I can see. Your camera seems to have given you some trouble in the low light situation. There is a fair amount of noise on the wall areas.

What a good picture for the challenge. I like it very much, can't think of anything you could do to improve it.

May be chaotic, but not an interesting shot for the viewer. Lighting is not condusive to a good picture (shadows, reflections, etc).

Greetings from the Critique Club!

The message
The purpose of this photo is to show off the unique features of this interesting vehicle. It's a great subject for a magazine cover and the home in the background makes a nice setting. But it's lacking in interest; another element (like a driver) or an unusual point of view would help grab the viewer's attention.

Creative choices
The lighting is harsh, but I think it works well here with the dark car, casting an even darker shadow and making nice specular highlights. The colors of the various elements work well together. The reflections in the car are subtle and nicely show off its contours.

Technical aspects
Exposure is perfect. Focus seems fine. I'm not sure what caused the diagonal lines to be jagged, but it is mildly distracting. But my main complaint about this photo is that the highlights are missing their metallic edge, making the car look plastic. I suspect this is a result of the Neat Image processing.

A little staged and overprocessed for my taste
