You've captured such a terrific expression here. Every time I look at this I feel happy. I think this was underrated by many voters.

Great focus, and lighting worked well. Nothing blown out. Overall good shot.

Cute. My minor nitpick is that it could use a touch of noise reduction. It's a minor nitpick.

Had I voted, I would've given this a 5 or 6. Technical: Very strong shot in this regard, like the light and comp. Dof risky, could be soft in places, but I don't mind risk. Almost but not-quite glared out on the right-hand truck. Artistic: I am very fond of the low pov and like the crop, like the feeling of the white truck going somewhere with the way the leadig lines follow the bed. The lost headlight on the red truck gives a sense of something being awry, but needs a little bit more...maybe if you'd been allowed to remove the license plate, may have conveyed the idea a little more strongly. FWIW: Don't be afraid to interpret challenges literally esp if you are new here. I think you have a good idea of what to look for and how to shoot it, you just need to get across the concept more clearly. You don't mention any post-processing but a run-through with unsharp mask may have given the shot a little more definition. Feel free to PM me with any questions, Susan

Cool, great advice. I'm new and confused, so your insight was great. Thanks. - mike

The processing makes the details look somehow smudged, but I like the composition and the use of color.
