Hmmm. Yes, there's an 'S' shaped curve (two of them) in this photo. And while it technically fits the challenge, I find the image to be a bit static. Nothing to say "Wow" about it. If you had used different colors maybe? Anyway...good luck in the challenge.

Good idea for a photo. However, I would like to see more contrast. There is too much grey and not enough true blacks and whites.

Hello from the Critique Club,

First let me congratulate you a new personal best score. I know you were probably hoping for a little higher but your score indicates that the image was technically strong and meet the challenge description. Where the image falls short is in the DPC "Wow" factor. Nearly 40% of your votes were 5's. That to me suggests that the voters looked for literally 2-3 seconds and concluded, "this picture isn't bad, so I can't give 4 or less, but it doesn't do that much for me so I can't give 6 or more".

You did a nice job trying to eliminate distractions in this image. However, the cars visible on both sides of the Shelby indicate that your image was taken at a car show of some sort. This gives the image a walk-by-shooting look that lacks the creativity that the DPC voters look for.

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

Cool pattern and good curve. It doesn't lead my eye anywhere except out of the image.

Different and original. Nice contrast, but I'm not too sure what it means.

Nice perspective. I know Shelbys typically are blue but I think a change to red or another color would help contrast it with the sky.
