Great capture.
(I don't think the voters these days understand photography.)

The foreground is soft because of the motion :D
It's very difficult to capture motion in a 3/4 front shot, but check the back wheel.

Bad exposure

... or bad processing. The exposure is fine, but it's been run through a Holga action. I think my main mistake was fading a bit of colour back in - it was probably better as a grainy B&W.

Complex interesting subject. Good framing. Bad exposure, to my taste. It´s really normal due to the reflexity of the subject that confuses your meter.

Beautiful car. The foreground is soft and the image looks static instead of "in motion."
