| Thank you all for the votes and the comments. This could have been a better picture if 1) I got rid of that damned car in the blinker. That bothered me like crazy after the week was over. The other thing was that my car wasn't very clean at the time. I have to admit to bug abuse. |

| Perfect angle and background, and good choice of B&W. Nice work! |

| car reflection in light bothers me, new? Perhaps taking one at a dealer would show less scratches and cleaner (?) - I may have tried the profile view, more car less trees. - like the b&w though. |

| Black and white was a good choice to give it a classy air. I like the framing. |

| Really liked the feel of this one, but it would have been better if you waxed the car first. |

| The sky ruins the picture. you need blue skies with moving clouds. |

interesting reflection of the other car in directional light. Im not sure if it was intentiaonl. it is centered very nicely though, so probably.
are you implying that the Bug is the rreflection of an economy car? Very nice symitry and use of the camera flash |

| The new bug is a great subject, but you haven't made the most of it here. The low angle is cool, but the flash glare on the bumper and washed out fender detract. I'd have cropped off the very bottom, as well, since it makes the tires look truncated. The trees in the background don't do much for me, and interfere with the outline of the car. Maybe color would have worked better in that regard. |

| A little heavy with the lighting on the left, but otherwise, I thought this was a really good picture. |

| Nice sharp focus, well lit and an interesting angle. Good job I could imagine this as an ad in a magazine. |

| nice concept and execution |

| I like the persective of the car quite a bit but I don't think the backgound does anything for it. |

| this is a great photo. im not sure how effective it is at making me want to buy a beetle? ithink the main prob has to do with the trees. would have been stronger with just clear sky or a different background. |

Great prespective on this shot. Too bad the car isn't spotless :)
|

| Why B&W? The angle is wonderful, as is the framing. But the Beatle is meant to be colorful and fun... Making it B&W mutes that. |

| i love this car. i'm not sure i like the angle and the lighting somehow doesn't make it look as sleek as it should. |
|
|
|
05/07/2002 12:22:00 PM |
| Great angle. I really like the b&w effect, too. I would have rather the car reflected in the turn signal be an 'old style' beetle (or not there at all) |
|

| Very slick and commercial, and even beyond that a nice photo because of the lighting and composition. It's a shame though that in this challenge, although people can imitate commercial photography, without lots of post production they can't really get there. The scratches and dust on this car's paintwork would be completely airbrushed out if it was a real advertisement. |

| Cool use of B&W. I like the perspective, would have also worked for the previous challenge |
|

| nice photo. i think it would be better if the camera was a little higher. |

| I like the idea of the curb in front of the car. It makes it look like a different car. The monochromatic look is also nice. Why did you photograph a dirty car, though? Who would buy it? |
|

| I like this shot. Very metallic and sleek - the sky matches the car and the trees frame the shot very nicely. The whole image looks smooth. nice framing of the car itself as well, and good positioning. |

| Interesting reflection in the right light. |

I tried a similar idea with my old vovlvo but it didn't have quite teh same effect!!!!
nice light on the curves |
|

| Nice perspective. I was going to downgrade for the background but on second thought it adds to the reality and tells you it is not a matchbox. 8 from me. |

| I used to own this car's father... I had a '68 beetle.. it was my first car. good work! |
|

|

| I like the close up of the car.. the curvature of the hoodline and roofline are very appealing and give sort of a fish-eye feel to the picture. Also, the color of the sky is washed in a way that works well with the car. |
|
|
|
05/06/2002 01:27:00 PM |
| I like the angle, and I think the shot would work better against a plain sky (no trees). It would also work better with flatter lighting. |
|
|
|
05/06/2002 01:24:00 PM |
| i really like this one, i had an idea along the same lines, but it didn't submit a photo this week. the best part about this picture is the perspective, good job. |

| the background detracts from the wonderful lines, a solid windowless building wall would have worked great, as would an empty parking lot to eliminate reflections of neighboring cars (someone holding a large solid sheet open at reflective points would do the same thing) ...also, remove the bug guts |

Not too original, but I do love the car.
Good try.
The trees pull the eye away from the car. Crop the top would help some. |

| scratch on the right side (dirt maybe). |

| The angle is artistic and shows enough of the car to get a good idea of what it looks like. I think the camera could've been raised up more though to see more of the car, and to cut off the unused space at the top (the sky). |

| From this angle, it looks like a vaccum cleaner! ;) |

| A nice composition. The lighting worked against you I think. It might have been better to have had the sun behind you. |
