Heh, saw this burnt out car down south in an industrial zone, sure it wasn't a just washed 100k vehicle but you gotta do with what you have :)

A message rather than car ad? I don't know. not a bad photo though, I like the colors. I usually look at the picture as an art, and this has some of it :)

A good subject for an oobie take on the challenge, but I don't like the angle its shot from. Lighting is nice though. 4

An interesting take on the challenge and a very funky angle...they're good things btw.

Very moody picture of the car, and overall I like it as an image--but I'm not sure I can really think of it as a car ad.

Two words. Electrical fires. I like the photo, just not the angle.

Great, great, great POV. Love this one - fave of the whole group. 10/10

Unique angle; hope this wasn't yours!

Close to the full horror, but not enough. And too much dependence on title. Nice try.

Excellent photograph - the tones and textures are outstanding - telling a story by themselves of desperation and loss and violence. I just feel that this is too much of a stretch to get to a car ad - maybe a public service announcement, but not an ad.

cool pic but does it meet the challenge

no really an ad in the truest sense. and I am currently in a period of coming down a bit harder on those who done nail the challenge. real good shot though with nice tones. 6

What a way to sell a car. I hope it was not yours. creative angle and good PP.

I like the angle and the almost surreal enhanced look to the rusted out car. Not sure it would convince me to buy electric, though. What about exploding batteries? If laptops have problems with them, just imagine it with a car. Yikes!

Good original Idea. Love the colours.
12/11/2007 12:00:09 PM
This picture make me want to crank my neck to the right. Not sure if this is a good thing, but the colors and sharpness are excellent.
12/11/2007 09:53:06 AM
This angle bothers me really bad. I think a rotate would have worked better here.

While i really like the editing and the feel of this photo i really dont care for the angle. I feel like Im gonna fall over..lol maybe if the angle of the car was going up the left instead it wouldnt feel so harsh..Good luck

I like the image. Very cool colors but I would have suggested a different angle on the car.

Not that sure about car sales… The picture is awesome!!!

I think I pulled a muscle turning my head to look at this image. Just saying that it's tilted to much IMO

Interesting take on the challenge and good to see something so different. Good crop, nice lighting and colours.

Not a good advertisement, but a nice photograph in general.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 08:55:51 AM
Good composition, but the perspective is too askew for my tastes. I'm not sure I buy the title, either. Haunting, sobering, evocative image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Really dramatic shot, love the colours, the detail, the angle. However, I've never seen a car advert like this and don't believe I ever will and so I am unable to score it highly.

nice shot, nice finding. I think the angle is a bit too weird (IMO)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 05:59:03 AM
Nice editing. You've brought out the colours really nicely. I would crop a little of the left side of this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 05:13:59 AM
the tilt is a bit strong, the crop is a bit unfortunate. good color and sharpness
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Your picture literally made me tilt my head sideways to get a better look. Don't know if that's good or not, but it did grab my attention. I like the colors, vignetting, and the stab at humor here, but not sure about the composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 12:15:17 AM
Even though I think that you have a technically good shoot, I would not buy this car :) IMHO 6
