Would be better without all the distracting reflections on the car. Other than tha, great shot!

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
Greetings from the Critique Club: I have been assigned your photo to critique and here are my thoughts:

Personal Reaction: Your photo “interests” me. Worth looking at for awhile and trying to puzzle out what’s going on.

Composition: Fine, better than fine in fact, good. Probably a little busy â€Â¦ maybe fewer bulbs to focus my attention.

Technicals: All fine except that the photo is over exposed. Here is a good example where combining a hot photo with a cool version to broaden the dynamic range might work well. Keep the hot light, but cool the bread et al. You could do this with multiple layers in Photoshop. Or you might use masks to do it.

Conclusions: I like your out-of-the-box thinking. You executed the photo well. Managing the exposure better and simplifying the image would have raised the score.

As always, this is my personal opinion. Feel free to PM me if you’d like further dialog.

what makes this work for me is the strong counterdiagonal of the roof, which "disappears" behind the subject. 7. I just talked myself into an 8

Comment by LalliSig:
Nice colors in the shot, think it is a bit too tightly fitted in the frame though, I would have preferred it if you either had taken a sligthly wider shot and had more space around the car or just taken a closeup of it, it´s just to "cramped" for lack of a better word.

It would have been nice if the pickup were not visible in the car's reflection

that's a different spin on this. Until I read the title I thought it was macaroni and cheese on the bread.

Excellent colours and saturation, and angle. Very tight crop, though - I would leave few mm betwwen the car and borders.

less tilt and a less tight crop might have been better
