Maybe if the young woman were naked - this could have gone into the nude gallery? Yes, I'm warped-just ignore me.

Jeb i didnt have time to vote on free study this time so i didnt vote on it. But i like the shot. I can see what some have commented that if you could have got more of a side profile shot and removed the guy it might have done better.But when you are shooting at events like this its not like shooting a model or a tree, You just have to take what you can get from where you are and i think the voters are so used to voteing on setup shots that we often forget it when looking at shot like this.

I am planning on going to Topeka to the dragraces in june an i will be happy if i get anything close to this.

The thing that gets my attention isn't the car, it's the guy to the right of the car. He seems utterly uninterested in the spectacle. The guy behind the car almost looks like he's trying to undo a wedgie. :-) Given expert editing, maybe you could have deleted all the elements except the car, the red car behind, and the flags. Then it would have been more DPC'ish. And add the young lady to the hood of course.

I did not vote in the free study and I know absolutely nothing about cars. It did get an average vote of 6.5 from commenters who were interested in the subject. Perhaps if you had more of the car and less of the surroundings in the photo and severely grunged it up it would have been noticed a bit more. Particularly if you had a beautiful young woman on the hood.

Nice crisp shot - it's likely a lot of viewers just didn't find anything interesting in the subject matter, which contributed to your middle-of-the-road scores. I wonder how it would look if you took the shot at a slightly different angle, positioned from more to the left, so you can see more of the side of the car as well as the front - don't know if it would be better/worse/same, just wondering. :)

Hey Jeb, I gave you a 6 in the challenge. Also what levyj413 says is correct it doesn't have to be a progression. Now while I love the theme one of the photos just seems to be out of place. The one on the top left isn't the same car. Which is fine, if you would have done different cars for each frame. Or you could have made them all the same cars with different aspects. I don't know for sure, I've never done a triptych. Still I like the theme and I think they are well done technically.

My first car was a 63 Ford Galaxy 500. Nice shot.

Jeb, I liked your triptych and voted it a 6. A triptych doesn't have to be a progression - it can just as well be three different takes on a given subject, as yours is.

My only thought for an improvement might be that it would be really cool to have caught the Camaro doing a burn out, really well put together I think. Way to go!

I like the selective focus on this and how the background flora has this impressionistic wash look to it.
