For some reason I think hybrid when I see this, just the style of the shot I guess.

This really looks like a car ad. Nice angle, good DOF, and leaving the lights on was a nice touch. 8

I like how the background color compliments the car.

Good DOF, colour, but the upper part of the photo is just a tad boring for the promise of the car.

We drive the same car, just different color :) Nice shot, love how the terrain matches the color of the car and yet the car shows out.. 8

This really could be from a Honda Ad. The background really complements the car, the lights are a nice touch, and the angle is spot on. It does not have a great deal of inventiveness in the shot (I have seen this on many a car brochure) but it is well delivered so it gets an 8

Good angle and nice to have the car placed in an environment - should be top ten.

Very classy shot. Love the angle and the background colours tone perfectly with the car.

Looks just like an add. I think you did an outstanding job of trying to sell a car. -1 for the WB being off but other than that = a 9 from me.

Very nice shot that I could imagine being used to sell this car, like the adverse camber effect of the road. Possibly my only minor comment would be that colour wise it appears a little flat. I'm not sure whether that was down to grey skies/time of day of the shot.

Very nice sharpness on the car

8 from me

Missing number plate really makes this look like something out of a magazine and makes all the difference. Lovely glow around the lights, the composition works well with the viewpoint angle although you have quite a bit of wasted space towards the top. Might have been better to do landscape with just the car filling the frame but still keeping the angle. Nice DOF and good focus on the lights of the car, the lights are essentially the eyes and so portrait photography rules apply.

I must admit, this really DOES look like a car ad! Nicely done!

I should apologize in advance......gold cars don't work for advertising, they're too neutral, the title doesn't really tie in to the image, the setting is kind of depressing and barren looking......doesn't help sell the car IMO.....the skewed perspective is good, the lights on are good, the exposure is good....with a different color car, it may have carried the background, but also, with the word power in the title, sitting still doesn't help convey that image. HTH, anyway....

I like that it has lights on, and the fact that bckgrnd is blurred, puts the car up front

There's something fuzzy about the front corners of the car. The subdued colours with the Gold are really cool, but they need something to make them really work. I can't put my finger on what it is. Maybe this is one of those images that needs the right frame to really work well.

good composition and POV. a bit soft overall. a slight bump in saturation might have been good.

Nice blending of the colors of the car and the background. A very believable car ad. Good job. Good composition and angel as well. -7-

not bad on the tilted composition, lighting is not too great here.
