Hi Danny!
Remember me? I'm your personal CCClub commenter ;) I like that role, too, because, as always, your image is very well done :)
The red and yellow colors of the images are beautiful and nicely contrasted by the black background. I like that the left image instantly gives you a context for the two images on the right and that you have to look at them a little closer to figure out the angle that they were taken at. This way, you combine to get the instant impact that seems to be necessary to score well on DPC as well as the "hold the interest" aspect that is necessary for people to like images beyond the first impression.
The images themselves are very nice, not too many reflections, sharp, good contrast. The image on the left could be a tad lighter and (even though it is not), looks slightly tilted because of the curve of the roof I think.
Overall, I think the multi-image composition feels a little unbalanced to me. The left image is a lot cleaner and less "cluttered" (strong word, I can't think of a better one just now), while the two images on the right both have a lot going on and, on the very first glance, seem to be one image. Maybe separating them through a red border, too, would've helped that, or even just allowing a little more breathing space between the images.
I like the text and the title, the color goes well with the images and the font is just perfect for the old cars, and nicely repeats what is visible in the left image already.
In summary, your entry definitely meet the challenge, the photos tell a great story about beautiful old cars and I think many an old car fan could imagine this on their wall at home. Good work as usual, with only small areas of possible improvements.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about this review.
Until my next review of one of your entries, take care ... :)
Franziska.
