I can seriously see this as a smaller shot on a big glossy page of a brochure. I might have included the back end of the vehicle, instead of it being in shadow.

Despite the insane drop-off, this feels very cozy. I also love it as an ad idea. Great job!

Backwards from the edge of the cliff! Nice perspective to make your point.

This is okay, but I have no idea what make and model this automobile is.

Very nice. I like the composition, place, everything. Technically good. Good job :)

Good shot, nice to see a 4x4 in its real environment. The car looking towards the distance gives its some personality. very good, should do well.

bumped from an 8 to a 9.. well done.

Great photo, especially for this kind of car!

I really liked this up until i read the title. Would probably just have been as easy to think up your own title rather than take it from the Freelander TV Commercial.

Nice set up and a great location and angle. Too much shadow on the trunk and I would have showed either more or less of the car ... chopping it down the middle takes away from this image for me. 6

Nice location, nice different angle, sweet light!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the framing of the shot and the back ground is just right not ditracting from the car, the only thing I am not sure I like is the lack of light on the tailgate, I think adding a small amount of light to the back of the car would make the shot. Good luck in the challenge. 6

Great composition, has that combination of imagination, travel and realism that good car adds usually have. Congratulations.

Really good work. Nice perspective and great message told by this image.

beautiful photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Perhaps keeping your composition concept the same, but achieving it by using a much wider aspect ratio and getting the whole car in frame. Lovely lighting and focus on the side of the car, perhaps a little too dark at the rear though, I imagine a car manufacturer would want it more visible and also to show the whole thing

just beautiful
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Too bad the suv's brand wasn't there in place of the "Motors" on the spare wheel cover. A reflector hitting the rear would have been nice to brighten it up a little.

Great location/composition, i think you have a winner
  Photographer found comment helpful.

THIS IS AN AD SHOT ! well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/11/2007 12:38:26 PM
Lovely background, nice lighting. Minor criticism - I would have cropped out the spare wheel, but thats just me. A fine shot.

You certainly can't beat the setting, off into the wild blue yonder, but I have no clue what brand of car I'm seeing 8

Very Nice view there! only thing I think would make this better (for me personaly) is to see the back of the vehicle too.good luck

rear of vehicle too dark. Love the idea.

Great shot and title. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Need to see the brand!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 02:19:50 PM
Compositionally super and the backdrop works very well for the challenge

very nice sharpness on the car itself. This nearly feels like a ribbon winner but (imo) what holds it back a little is the fact that the rear of the car is so dark. I still think this will do well but pehaps if you had dodged the back a little it would have gone from good to great

Generally very nice overall

What a wonderful location !!

Great placing of the car, nice crop.

The classic ad. Super.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice pic, but clearly showing brand is very important for ADs
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the way this indicates unlimited opportunities. Nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 07:37:24 AM
amazing setting. Only nitpick is the darkness on the back on the car. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 07:04:07 AM
impressed, love the shadows and the infinity of the shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 06:10:07 AM
GREAT location! I would suggest either somehow lighting the back of the car, or just cropping it off. There's also some haloing on the edge of the grass which is distracting. But still, this is an amazing shot..

eheheh the title is taken by the windows95 spot?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 04:28:39 AM
good POV and location . back of car is way too dark.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/10/2007 02:15:54 AM
Did you have the car air lifted in by helicopter? Nice shoot, a very believable car ad. I love every thing about it. The composition, colors and fantastic location. You should do well. - 9-
