Audi: Colorado

A great composition on this image. Yopu have given great space on the right which has lead to a balanced photo. The panoramic crop works for me with this. Maybe some words in it to make it the true Ad for the car. A good image that works well for the challenge.

I like this. I like that you have gone different to the standard shot of a sportscar. The texture and the peeling paint just make this an interesting shot. Maybe the white is slightly overdone with a little edtail lost in the letters, but a great image

A typical Auto ad.....A very typical Audi Ad. We executed and a brilliant location and sunset to allow you to pull this off.
Maybe the car could be lit a little better. Only a minor critisism and the only thing that differentiates this from the Ad that is in the magazine in front of me really. An excelent challenge submission.

Buy A Limo

Way too much bright words for me. The words overpower the image, the image is not great of the Limo, a bad angle and bad lighting, with plenty of distracting elements as well. The car needed to be more evenly lit to make it the subject

Really do not see this as meeting the Challenge. This is a Photography Contest for Automobile Ads. This is no way makes me want to buy a car.............DNMC

A very different take. SOme will claim that you took the photo and shoehorned, but I will give you the benifit of the doubt here, as I think it all works really well, and sells a message that you guys need to sell to save the industry.
The photo is stunning, a brilliant capture. I like how the bird is looking into the distance, into the negative space, and away from us. In many ways it is like he is contemplating the future of the industry. A typically sure thing, looking into the uncertain future.
The text, brilliant, great font, great placement, works really well. The overall composition of this is exceptionally good.
Only critisism. If this were an add, the title wouldn't be shown, and therefore it would lose the overall effectiveness, as we wouldn't know what you were selling. It could be a generic phrase. Integrating the title in, somewhere, would have completely made this as an add. Don't know where you would put it, but I feel, for this to stand alone, in a Magazine, it needs to be in there. Other than that, I expect to see this advertising the industry next week. Exceptionally professional, well executed, great idea and a stunning photo........

Like the idea. Love the blue sky. Hitching the trailor is good.
However, the crop is too tight. You are on the edge of losing the front bumper, and the border goes through it. Also, the trailor is partially cropped off. The car needed to be more towards the centre, on the line of third, as the main subject, with the trailor behind as a secondary element
Also, there are too many distracting elements in this. The truck is a major problem, it doesn't add to the message, neither does the garage either, but both just grab the attention.

Classic. Whereas most others went and photographed a car, and advertised a car, you instead went the brand. What you have acheived is a very clean, crisp image, that is simple in its composition, and yet extremely effective in its message. Of those I have gone through, this is the best at selling the car......
A few very (very) minor things prehaps.
Maybe the crop is just a little tight around the image. Just a little extra negative space would have helped, so that the symbol wasn't as constrained.
The text I feel is a little light. A darker silver I think would have been better. Avoiding black though was a good choice.
An excelent image, and overall composition for this challenge.

Great overall poster composition. I think that you got the overall presentation spot on, the colours and text right, and avoiding the overall black border in thsi case works really well for me.
Maybe a little extra diffused light onto his face, just to avoid the dark eyes that you have here, may have worked. But hey, overall, an image that fits in exceptionally well with the title and phrase you have chosen, and a really good overall submission.

I like the image, I like the phrase, I like the overall concept and message you are trying to portray, but don't find it really to be that motivational. A little extyra room around the sides and top of this image, just to clearly define that nothing is cropped off, would have helped this slightly as well. it feels a little contrained by the current crop
