Grr- I hate it when my top picks end up in the middle - this tells a great story - a lot of emotion in the picture. Lovely composition.

This is lovely - I hate it when my top picks end up mid pack. I bet it suffered from poor-voter-monitor-calibration. Dark images often do.

Very nice portrait but the blue doesn't add anything - Use him again in the next challenge.

Passing By

It doesn't come together as a whole/ the interesting parts are over shadowed by the distracting parts. The gravel under the car is a major distraction. All those little light spots - maybe clone out each and every one. The wheel is at an odd angle and has an odd glare The car is an unattractive shade of orangy red (don't laugh, it matters to the voters) and it clashed with the brighter pinky red of the tail light streams. The person is too far off to the right to be noticed right way, remember those leading lines? they all lead to him but by the time the veiwer gets to him, the eyes have built up too much momentum heading out of the picture (mind says "all done, next) The subject guy isn't strong enough to being me back into the scene. He looks odd in sepia, maybe he should be black and white? He appears to be ill, or have a headache. The map really isn't noticieble, I didn't see it till I read the caption, it looks like part of the passenger seat.

So what is interesting? The passing cars are. The guy is and his story, lost map etc. the red car, the night. They are just out of balance. The red car dominates the image yet contributes the least to the story. The guys is lost in left field. the passing cars are weighted down by the heavy gravel foreground.

Is that enough? Oh yeah, and the steering wheel is on the wrong side so a large percentage of your viewers will not identify him as the driver but the passenger and wonder where the driver went, and whats the rest of the story.
