*Critique Club*
I will try to elaborate on what I said in my first critique of this shot.
First, I mentioned that it was a bit cluttered. The glare on the car, and the windows of the building add elements that don't need to be there. Had the car and buildings not been in the background, I think that it might be a bit better. Or maybe if the buildings were more plain and simple, they wouldn't be such a distraction.
I said that the colors don't jump out as much as I thought they should. This could be due to lighting conditions, however it could also be due to the fact that there are similar colored items in the background, making them almost blend in with the background.
Your focus and clarity looks good. It does get a bit fuzzy on the white box to the right, but that's not really an important part of the shot. Actually, it could probably be cropped out seeing as that white wasn't really a part of the challenge.
Someone mentioned a funny perspective. I am assuming that you probably used a wide angle lens for this? Sometimes that will distort things so that everything on the outside edges tilts inward.

Definately fits the challenge, however, not a real thrilling photo. Quite cluttered, and the colors don't seem to jump out as much as I feel they should. They seem dark or muted by maybe the lighting conditions? Focus seems good, and technically it's an ok shot, just not 'jump out of my seat' exciting. ~Heather~

The perspective seems odd. It looks like it is squeezing at the bottom of the photo. The right side is sort of flaring to the right and left to left as it goes up. Is messing with my eyes.
