looking through the challenge to give me ideas about the new one, planes, trains and automobiles II, and i think this is vastly underrated. it really catches the eye
I think your score is all about it not being a Plane, Train, Automobile. Can't help you our there as I agree on the theme disconnect. Instead, I'll direct my attention to the picture without reguard for the theme -- it has a lot of things that I like about it.
Looking at the rest of your portfolio I'm struck by your bold/interesting use of color. This shot shows your preference (your abstract shot is in my "favorites" and is a great example of your style) for working the color into the composition in an integral way.
This shot has a shock of yellow that demands attention. The Blue (top) and red (bottom) framing the truck and they scream right along with it to present a primary color balance. There isn't too much calming in this shot, by design, and that gives it energy. I would like even more blur and wonder how the shot would look without a little less of the trailer.
I hope this was helpful. Please pm me if you have any questions on my thoughts.
Interesting shot, does show high speep, but I can't really look at this picture long without my eyes hurting. Road is noisy. Maybe if you tried panning with the truck to get it in focus and the background blurred, instead of vise versa. I like the (I presume) sunset colors.
Nice shot, in this case I really like the motion blur! The only complaint I might have is the sky might be to oversaturated, but that is just my taste. Good job...
