Greetings from the Critique Club!

Aesthetic: Not very appealing photo. Somehow toys dont do well on DPC (unless its about "rubber ducky" :))

Technical: Lighting is harsh but the image is well exposed.

Challenge: Not really a fit and maybe thats the reason for not-so-high score. If the theme was "top-lit" or "single source of light", this would have done better.

Conclusion: Overall an average composition. Somehow common subjects dont to very well and to add to it - this was a toy! I did not voted for this challenge but would have given it around 5 which is in-line with final score. The rule is simple - the subject needs to be interesting and if the subject is too common (like the one in your photo), you need to do something really unique with post-processing or capture angle.

Wish you goodluck for future sybmissions!

I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Wish you a great day!

I was attempting a similar angle.... Allan Wietzallen style... getting hammered though. In this picture though I'm having a hard time trying to pick out the painting as there seems to be a clear shadow from a light source.

Edit: Your car faired much better then mine ;-)

Nice picture of car, but the strong shadows look like there wasn't a moving single light source.

1) IMO toys dont go over to well
2) the light should be more focused on the subject rather then all over the background as well.
