Congrats on the 6+ score and 20th place.
It was interesting just now reading through the comments, I was amazed how many people didn't get the tagline. I thought it was self evident, but there ya go!
Composition in this image is very strong, although perhaps the shipwreck does over power the car a little. I know it was luck that you managed to get this shot and that it was not a set up, so the car colour was not optional, but that said, I do think a stronger coloured car would have helped. As this was an advanced challenge, I wonder if you could have switched the colour of the car for something else? Just a thought and probably a silly one at that.
It's interesting to watch how the trends come and go on DPC. Currently Topaz Adjust is all the rage and I can see you have used it here. I think used with a bit of discretion this tool can really enhance the processing of some images, but to be perfectly honest, I think it is a little bit too heavy in this image and it has spoilt the quality of the image a bit. I may be the only one thinking like this however, as you did indeed get a decent score.
Like I said, good strong composition, that was hurt a little for me, by a bit of heavy processing.
