| Very nice car, and I like the tone choice. The rear of the car looks a little strange to me, though. Perhaps I'm wrong, but maybe the lens or your shooting position altered the perspective a bit. It seems too "fat" to me. Nice photo though. |

| I wish that guardrail wasn't there, but everything else about the photo is fantastic. |

| Shiny shiny pretty pretty... This is nice, although could be a lot nicer photo if you'd show interior of the car through the door other side. The panel is also on my way. I feel like walking around, but I can't because this is a picture :/ |

| OK .. I'm grading this challenge on a curve, and this was one of the few 3s I gave out. It probably should be a 4, maybe even a 5, because the lighting on the car is nice. But the guardrail in the front is very distracting, and with the door open on the other side of the car it looks like we're missing out on too much. So why is it a 3? Because it is, hands down, the best looking car in the challenge, and there is so much more that could have been done with such a wonderful subject, imo. OK, maybe that's not fair. 4. |

| Love the image but am not fond of the guard rail. Still, decent shot for interior lighting. |

| Sepia toning works really well on this picture. |

| Is this in a museum? This is a beautiful Gullwing Coupe. BB |

| very cool car - gotta love the doors on that thing. i am not particularly fond of the choice of sepia here - the tone really does not draw me in. In addition, I would rather see this from a front back view rather than back front view. |

| I think the bridge detracts from this... but I love the car, tones and lighting! |

| Photo is very dark overall, also a lot of jaggies in some of the straight lines detract slightly from the shot. The use of sepia is a good choice to show the vintage of the car. but the overall darkness really bugs me.. good. 6 |

| Stunning car and beautiful processing, I just wish that guard rail wasn't there. Is asking you to dismantle a guard rail to get a better shot too much? |

| A wonderful car with nice post processing, but it looks a little unbalanced with the open door on the far side of the car, and the barrier forming a well . . 'barrier' between the viewer and the picture. |

| I bet this is an awesome car but the image doesn't do it justice. It's hard to make out the car with the shininess and there is too much going on in the BG and FG. My eyes are all over the image and not really moving smoothing along. JMO |

| Good job on keeping the ad for the old car looking like it was from that car's era. And no way do you actually have this car? It's sweet... 8/10 |

| Very nice photo and the duotone works really well. Suoer sharpness on the car itself. Compositionally strong with a good leading diagonal although it would have been great if you could have lost the roadside barrier. Great to see gullwing doors as well (even if they do mean that you can never really park close to anybody). Would I buy this car...heck yes |

| The crash barrier is in the way. |

| The duotone hue fits the era well. Just a shame the image wasn't taken from the other side as the barrier in the foreground obscures the car and the gull wing door is open on the otherside and so some of the interior would have been visible. The barrier would have made quite a nice background with its race circuit paint job and would have complemented the cars racing heritage. |

| Whoa! How'd you get your hands on a Gullwing????? 9 for rarity!!! Oh, great image too, though the guard rail sucks and is what kept me from giving this a 10. Nice lighting and processing. |

| Pity about that guardrail. Apart from that, this is a nice 'period photo' of the car. |

| nice ride. The barrier in foreground spoils a look a bit (IMO) |

| Wow, what an unbelievable car... Great shoot and a good technical image. There even appears to be a light inside the car. I'm not particular fond of the sepia conversion. Don't mess with the Mercedes silver :) I also may have liked the view more from the front - IMHO 7 |

| What a gem. One of my top ten favorite cars ever. Sephia was a great choice. |
