Greetings from the Critique Club!

Congrats on the top ten finish, for one! At first I was a little dubious about this pic with the vast amount of oof stuff in the foreground, but it does help to sell the nicely tack-sharp focus on the Raider. Good detail and going from the comments more than a few other people appreciated the sci-fi element you saw and ran with here. Good work, keep it up!

Hope this helps

Susan

Simple, elegant, with a strange hint of Darth Vaderish malevolence. Top 3.

Fascinating shapes and lines. Looks like a hovering flying saucer. But I bet its a car :) Voted earlier.

Otherworldly, like an ancient Flash Gordon serial.

COOL! Nice focus! Can't wait to find out what car this is. Almost looks like an old Cord.

I think what I would've said has already been said and they're probably the boxes you should of ticked.

I think the original was much better also.

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge well.

You were right to ask the question and I think your score and comments have answered it for you! Whilst I adored your original and I still regard this image as excellent per se, it really doesn't do it any favours to so closely replicate the original even if it was so successful. I think you needed to distinguish from it predecessor to make it another original. Given the challenge brief in my mind I see this in portrait orientation with just the one red diamond or three at most with the camera on the floor making dynamic focused use of the centred tile line. Or alternatively zoomed in on those gorgeous reflections but then you're starting to lose the challenge theme.

Nice to see this gorgeous image again but not so soon. Thanks for your entry Ronnie

nice image unfortunately just had an almost identical image in the free study and some folks will vote you down for that, the floor seam makes a nice leading line into the image.
