Woot! Congrats on the new personal best! I like your choice of subject matter here - brings back a lot of good memories of station wagons, pillows, and pajamas in my MUCH younger days. And I love the dramatic sky. May be a touch oversharpened/too much contrast - you'll notice a bit of "halo'ing" on the posts in the back which can be sign of either of the above. With lines like the posts, you'll always get a bit of jaggies - very hard to avoid at small sizes like we use here. A good test is to view it full size, full resolution to see if you're still getting jaggies - if you are, you know it's a bit too much sharpening.

Neat image. I like the mutted tones, gives it an "old" feel.

Seems so desolate from this side. Good entry for backside, shows us an angle we normally wouldn't even consider.

i like the idea behind this - good concept! faintly disappointed that this isn't cinematic or quite widescreen enough in feel; drive in theatre's are so dramatic in their own right that a bit of board on scaffold doesn't quite convey - just doesn't have the traditional placement of this kind of thing. the sky is nicely scorched, as is the satuation and what-not, though a little overdone to my tastes. i like it though.

My First Weighted Scoring System ™; composition + technical 1.5/3, challenge 1/1, post processing results 1/2, ooooh factor 1.5/3, originality 1/1 = 6

Way oversharpened (see the wite lines around your dark lines?) and the processing isn't to my taste.

The composition is good, as is the idea, but it looks a little too processed and maybe a touch over sharpened.

Good one, this truely is the side less seen, quite like the noise in the image which really helps set it off in this instance
