I hope no one is offended by the title; It is by no means a derrogatory/sexist remark. I just find it amusing how all used car salesman title their hunk of junk for sale as "Lady Driven" in hopes of gaining trust and credibility with their respected buyers.
I stumbled upon this fine peice of art on my drive to school from Vancouver to Prince George (8hour drive). I had made a stop on nature's call when I noticed it amidst the woods 200 meters from the road. I grabbed the camera, took a few snapshots, played with the levels, saturation, USM, resize, border, and here you have it.

Next time you go shopping for a used car, keep this pic in mind. :P

Regards,
Salar

well I'll assume that you know that for a fact and that you're not a male chauvinist piglet. the frame,,,,eh?....rust colored, can't imagine why....like the nice blue of the wreck agsint what rust there is and the green works too. Think your point could have been made while putting more emphasis on the rust in this.

I will ignore the title. This is quite a lovely composition, with very lovely colors and great lighting. Very interesting how trees have taken root in the engine compartment. Also the chrome and some of the paint have held up very well when the fate of the unprotected has been so great.

A 9.

This photograph feels like a story. It's a bit dark for my taste, but it I suppose that contributes to the mood.

Good picture, sexist title (shame on you )

nice composition but the border detracts

Is that title a sexist reference? Puleeze! The blue complements the rust nicely. The image is too contrasty for me. Don't like the border one bit.
05/05/2004 12:42:28 PM
Totally do NOT like the border on this one, I don't mind borders, but this one hurts the photo, especially as it seems to be blurry.

Well, if I assume that 50% of the voting population is female, the title should really hammer your score. For me, I think it is a little undersaturated, and just a bit busy.
