Well, you and I ended up within 4 places of each other. Lesson learned: never do shot the expected. Bummer! Now I am stumped as to new "childhood" challenge. Apparently no playgrounds, no toy stores and no schoolyards are going to impress.

It's a Dodge Neon with a Dick Tracy-style body! Ack!

There is some pixelation. Look closely at the curves in the shot.

The hoods of these cars either have dust, or moisture from a drop in temperature going from day to night. The photo definately depicts something new. I think though that when you think of "new" you think of bright and shiny. Could a day time shot have added to the newness, I wonder? The angle on your part is great. Nice job and good luck with the challenge.

Lots of photos of new cars but this one really stood out. Nice job!

Nice wish list. I know this is at night, but it's still a dark shot. 7 Swash

cool cars. i think i would have liked this better if you cropped out the "0%" stuff on the windshields. seems a little dark too. cool angle.

creative, I never would have thought of photographing a car lot at night
08/14/2002 10:27:00 PM
the cars in the background are distracting

I love the car, but not the most original idea

I don't particularly like that kinda car...A day shot might have been a little better lit

too dim. Dew on hood distracting. good subject matter

I think this photo would have done much better during the daylight. The moisture condensation on the hood of the cars and the flourescent markings on the windows ahve been accented too heavily by your flash. Daylight would also allow more detail of the cars to show through :) - jmsetzler

This is probably a stupid question but why is this shot at night? Interesting though.

Great picture. One of my ideas was to do something along this line, but chose to do something else. Good to see I wasn't the only one with the idea.

I am looking forward to finding out who took this picture. I'll explain later.
Okay, it is so late in the voting, what's the likelihood you'll read this before tomorrow:
I took the other PTCruiser picture. I accomplished the same goal as you did, but I love the night lighting in this picture.
In mine, I attempted to completely play down WHAT the car was and focus on the elements of new. There were three: 1) the dealer plate (no license yet), 2) the zero-percent financing (as in yours), and 3) the dealer flags reflected in the car window and hood. In spite of all that, I have consistently all week held at 4.1 in my feedback. And someone actually has the gall to tell me I didn't meet the challenge.

My husband's wish list also ! I would like to have seen a little bit of a sharper angle so that the tree could have been cut out - I find it distracting; and I would have liked to have seen a bit more light on the car in the forefront. I like the pitch black background, and the general composition. lhall
