Driving my 350Z around town. I placed the camera in the back, set it to a high aperature (for good detail, and a slow shutter speed (for good blurring in the windshield). Took about a 100 shots before I thought I had enough to work with.

Critique Club

Man I remember viewing this one while the voting phase was still in. I really like it. I think the composition is ok but I think it would improve it a little if you were to crop a little more off of the left of the photo maybe just before you get to your ear. I really like the motion blur and the greenery. The one thing that bothers me toward the windshield is I think a nice clean windshield would be tons better. see that line that is caused by the wipers? I think that hurts the image. Also seems like the focus is more on the headrest of the seat right in front of the camera and I think maybe put the focus on you whihc is hard to do. I am not sure if you looking at the camera in the mirror really helps or hurts the image. I keep flipping back and forth on that part. In some instances it is nice to have a connection with thew viewer and in some not so. At first I was thinking it wasn't a good thing now I am leaning the other way. Either way it is a nice shot that is very hard to take and you did a great job.

NIce effect on th eroad; the overall colors are a little too off green and bland for me; but overall there is a nice dynamic feel to this shot.

I like it - especially the blur on the outside. Z for zoom, I assume? (Didn't mean to rhyme there.)
