The rusty wreck would have been fine. Adding the beer ruined your image for me. NOt only are they not needed, but they appear too straight up and down and almost photoshoppy. I'm sure you put them there in real life, but why not have them broken, for instance? 2

Background is a little distracting from the foreground, and the bottles/cans feel too posed. A more natural scattering of them would blend better to me.

I think that old or broken beer bottles would have fit better with the rusted car

Overbright flash and obvious setup of beer containers. Should have been laid about instead of posed.

Even with the time incongruous beer containers removed, I do not find this particular wreck worthy of a picture.

I see what you're trying to say, however, this looks like something very old and abandoned, not wrecked. And the beer bottles (which are glared and show no detail) are very obviously placed after the fact. They might look better strewn about, like as if they were part of the crash. This particular shot I think would be much better without the political statement.

this would have worked better with old cans and bottles, and they should be dropped not placed. 7

great message, unfortunately the lighting seems like flash. Since these objects are still you could use either longer shutter speeds ( with tripod), larger aperatures, or faster iso speeds. Also you might want to try showing the bottles broken as the people involved in a wreak might be and focused in on more of pieces of the wreak that identify it as once a vehicle (i.e. the steering wheel, tires, dash, etc.

Good message and a good idea. But it just doesn´t work somehow at this angle
