This is really visually interesting, with the paper curved around away from the camera. I hope your frustration abates!

Interesting presentation of your resume. Good lighting, contrast, and depth of field.

I presume you were driving alongside? Good tree effect.

Pretty good motion pan. Looks like the car might be on downslope; if not, I'd have straigtened it as most folks seem to find the slant distracting.

Your photograph transforms a very ordinary part of modern life to a very striking image. The centre of interest –the parking meter—is clearly focussed and this contrasts well with your selected background, the yellow car. The juxtaposition of these two colours and objects is what your composition is about and you convey this powerfully. I particularly like the reflections on the meter and the reflections on the windscreen—both these root your photo firmly in the city with the buildings on the windscreen—this is a very urban image and a very urban blight. Your title sums up the picture, the primary colours ( including the red ) and the urban blues of an expired meter

I like the way you have cropped this image—enough detail of the scene is left in for the viewer to grasp what the photo is about. I see no problem digital artefacts-the image is smooth and clear where it is needed.

To sum up—a very clever use of colour—contrasts and objects, reflections and a very witty title manage to transform the mundane into a good photograph. To me the only criticism I could make about this well thought out photo is the very thing that attracts me to it—it is a very ordinary subject that no one is going to get excited about—and it is a tribute to your skill that you scored this highly!

Nicely done pan. though the tilt of hte road in the picture looks a little odd. I think rotating this one a bit to make it leve would have helped.
