This may get brown if I'm lucky - and I'll probably get told I mispelled the title too!

As usual - no time (for a creative shot) so I thought a touch of lighthearted observation would do.

I was very happy with the angle and detail, but I wouldn't hang it and I really don't like the desat thing (through 'hue/saturation' adjustment leaving yellow the only channel saturated) although this shot was, I think, improved by it.

beautiful composition, full of contrasts: grey car vs. vividly colored clamp, nice cruves and shapes of the car and the alloy vs. flat clamp, sports car with high performance tyres vs. it is chained, clean car vs. dirty clamp, etc. Really impressive.

i like the angle on this, were you in a manhole? makes the car look HUGE! love the triangle and the color differences with the pop of the yellow and would enjoy even more saturation on the yellow.

Neat perspective and an extremely nice job of compositional balance. Like how the chains lead me out of the frame to the right, as if saying, "You imagine how this story ends." 9.

I think 'Booted' would have been a better title. Nice angle, good clarity and focus.

Great title! I hope this is within the rules because I like the contrast between the bright yellow and the silvers and greys.
