I can't for the life of me figure out why you wouldn't rotate this picture. The top (er left) of the image, though, is very washed out compared to the bottom (right).
08/11/2002 08:55:00 PM
If your image was the right way up it would be easier to see
08/11/2002 02:41:00 PM
Ok, I sat here for a few minutes looking at this picture...Could not figure out what to give it....Most of the cars have gotten a 5 from me...Wanted to give a low score since the car seems to be parked on the wall...but you know what...it's different...so I'm giving you an 8 :)
08/11/2002 02:31:00 PM
Portrait would be better than landscape!
08/11/2002 11:10:00 AM
I'm sorry 1

old cars, and photographed without any context just don't do it for me. i guess this is a very personal picture?
08/11/2002 09:21:00 AM
Rotate clockwise thankĀ“s
08/10/2002 05:52:00 PM
Why on its side?
08/10/2002 04:22:00 PM
Should have flipped it 90 degrees to the right so it is straight. Also the "left" side of the pic is way too bright. My suggestion is to take the same pic on different seffings of apature and/or ISO and choose one that's "perfect" or at least one more dark than not. Why? Because it's easy to lighten a dark pic than try to lighten a dark one. The right side looks good, by the way.
08/10/2002 02:09:00 PM
I hope you reconsider and explain this perspective. It likley looks a little goofey to most of us. The top, make that the left side, is a bit washed out to me but I do like them old Buicks too.
08/10/2002 12:40:00 AM
I think this one should have been rotated for the best effect. Also, I would have tried to get more light on the front of the car, the back seems washed out while the front is just a little too dark for my liking.
08/09/2002 06:33:00 PM
Should have rotated the photo, because a horizontal photo just doesn't work here.
08/09/2002 06:03:00 PM
Needs rotating, I know that's obvious but I can't even appreciate this one without twisting my head too far to be comfortable which doesn't make me want to score it highly. Also seems too faded at roof of car end and too dark at front of car end. Sorry!
08/09/2002 02:10:00 PM
well, there is something called ROTATE????? that could have been used here.
08/09/2002 01:49:00 PM
Good subject. Sepia tone detracts from the natural feel of oldness.
08/09/2002 10:44:00 AM
did you place this horizontally on purpose? I don't think it adds anything. Vertical would be better. If I tilt my head I can see good composition, but there is also pixelation/dithering/compression artifacts.
08/08/2002 01:56:00 PM
ermm... took me quite a while to realise it was rotated on its side. is it intentional?
08/08/2002 11:17:00 AM
This orientation is what you intended? :)
Personally, I'm not considering orientation in this photo. (6)
08/07/2002 07:13:00 PM
Sooo many issues, so little space.....first, why sepia, it looks like a beautiful car and I KNOW it's old. Next, why on the side? Next, outside is overexposed, bad thing. Clear, well focused shot, but it still seems cloudy (could be the outside light again) Front of the car is too dark. I'd better stop before your score goes any lower (kind of a joke). 6 Swash
08/07/2002 11:12:00 AM
Doh! How did you make such an obvious mistake? What were you thinking? Were you asleep and just didnt notice that '57 fender on a '59 body? Oh, and the framing seems a bit lopsided.
08/07/2002 07:59:00 AM
Is it supposed to be sideways?
08/06/2002 08:34:00 PM
a little too dark in the front, that's just my opinion. Neat car, though. I love the classics.
08/06/2002 03:36:00 PM
I'm not sure why you didn't rotate it?
08/06/2002 02:51:00 PM
would have been more effective if it were rotated
08/06/2002 12:46:00 PM
i like this image, but i wish you had rotated it to vertical. the sepia works well here and the blown out highlights match well with the shadows in the front grille. ~mcmurma

Interesting photo - not sure about the rotation tho'
08/06/2002 07:34:00 AM
you might have wnted to flip it.
08/06/2002 12:47:00 AM
It would make me happy too if it was not at this angle. This is a awesome photo however the angle just doesn't work
08/05/2002 09:05:00 PM
rotation would work really well
08/05/2002 07:57:00 PM
lighting seems a bit harsh. difficult exposure. wondering about the why you chose to do it sideways
08/05/2002 07:16:00 PM
i'de like it better if i didn't have to stand on my head to see it.
08/05/2002 07:14:00 PM
Please rotate landscapes to portrate...
08/05/2002 06:18:00 PM
if it weren't sideways, it'd have gotten an extra point.
08/05/2002 05:05:00 PM
I think you should've rotated the photo.
08/05/2002 04:59:00 PM
wow, defying the laws of gravity now are we? Try turning your picture next time.
08/05/2002 02:29:00 PM
I'm gonna assume you intentionally forgot to rotate 90 degrees, call it artistic, and give it a 9.
08/05/2002 02:04:00 PM
I wish this was rotated 90 and not so contrasty. Better lighting would have really helped this picture.
08/05/2002 01:35:00 PM
was this supposed to be sideways??? looks like a nice old car
08/05/2002 10:01:00 AM
i'm sure everybodys been telling you... its sideways!
08/05/2002 08:37:00 AM
Is the rotation wrong on purpose? Really great picture apart from that. I'm going to pretend it's the right way up.(9)
08/05/2002 06:31:00 AM
put it round the right way :P
08/05/2002 06:09:00 AM
It would have made me happier if it had been rotated 90 degrees clockwise. I don't know if this was a deliberate decision but if it was then in my opinion it was a mistake. The reflections on the car are lovely and there's a kind of mist in the air that adds a lot of atmosphere. Sadly all of that is distracted from by the rotation. There's also evidence of heavy jpg compression around the edges of the highlights. Overall it is a lovely picture. Just a shame about the rotation.
08/05/2002 04:58:00 AM
I really would have liked this MUCH better if it was right side up. Why the tilting?
08/05/2002 03:29:00 AM
I think you should have rotated this image before you submitted it.
08/05/2002 01:48:00 AM
Looking at this sideways, it's actually a pretty good picture. :) Maybe you can see if one of the admins can fix this.
08/05/2002 01:05:00 AM
you should have roated the picture heh
08/05/2002 12:48:00 AM
rotate please. too much light on top of the car
08/05/2002 12:27:00 AM
I think this image would have been much better if you had rotated it up to a vertical orientation. I don't understand your intention of having it horizontal like this.... I like the sepia toning, but the exposure seems a little hot. The high exposure in the background is washing out the details in the front end of this classic car... - jmsetzler
