Greetings from the Critique Club!

First, let me say that I am not a professional or even a very good amature photographer, so you may want to take my comments with a grain of salt.

Meeting the Challenge: Definitely! It makes me feel like a kid again.

Composition: I agree that the crop seems a bit off. I don't feel like I need to see the whole toy - in fact, I think I like the feeling of energy that comes from the partial car. But I think that a looser crop on the top would bring it more into balance by showing more of the rear of the car. A solid color background may be less distracting but as there is not much background there, this is not as big of an issue as it would otherwise be.

Lighting: Pretty good. I think the right could be lit a bit more, and the left a bit less, as you lose a bit of details - especially to the left where the light merges with the car. It's not a huge problem as the merging of light and car does give a feel of movement, but that would have been enhanced by the beams of light being more consistant with each other.

Color: AWESOME. I love it. One of the best aspects to this photo, in my opinion.

Camera Work: Everything is clear and crisp. I am impressed with the attention to detail that this photo shows.

Post Processing: Details are sharp, the glow adds vibrance, highlights and shadows are very nice. You definitely accomplished what you wanted to with this.

Title: I would have prefered to see a less-obvious title, but this one is fine.

Image Dimensions and Filesize: Although not noticable, the filesize should be as close to 150kb as possible to minimize compression artifacts.

Misc / My subjective thoughts: It reminds me of something in a comic book or cartoon. I think it captures the feeling of children - colorful, vibrant, full of energy.

I hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Photo seems very small and the focus could be sharper. Seems like you cropped something away - want to see more. Lovely colours and nice angle though.

I like the crop and the indistinguishable background due to depth of field. Nice work.

Just a little more DOF to put those front buttons into focus. Love the angle and colors. I think I might have run a damp cloth over the surface, just to clean up some of that grit.

Cool perspective and very interesting. It would be better if the button in the foreground were in focus witout changing the focus of the blue knobs. The dust is very distracting.
