I went to the Collection hoping to get a nice picture of “Ferrari Red,” but they were closed. Luckily I went to the back and a lady was pulling her Audio into the Collection’s service garage, in which, this yellow Ferrari 360 Challenge car was beckoning my lens. I walked up to the garage and the guard sternly asked what I was doing in there, I said “I have an assignment to take photos of ‘color,’ and that yellow Ferrari is exactly what I was looking for,” he chuckled and gladly and let me shoot…

Someone was lucky enough to get so close to an awesome car! definately meets the color challenge, composition is very good however I just wish the focus were a bit sharper so I could score even higher. Would love to know what race this was in!
I like your choice of subject for this photo and I think color is definitely the primary element here. I do, however, think that the composition isn’t as strong as it could be. I find myself wondering why you cropped this picture the way you did. It shows too much to be an abstract but it leaves me wanting to see more as a picture of a car. I would either crop it a lot tighter or show a lot more if it were my picture. The other things might use a little work are the hot-spots and focus. Overall the picture appears to be somewhat soft, maybe a little USM might fix this. The hot-spots on the car take away from the picture for me, I know they are difficult to avoid but you might be able to get rid of them by slightly underexposing and then lightening the picture up in post processing. Also if a flash was used it might help to try ambient light, though this doesn’t always solve the problem. I gave this one a 4.
