I bet if the Mustang was red and your focus was just a tad deeper, so all the car was in focus, this would have scored a point higher. As you already know, DPC voters like purty colors.
It meets the challenge but it doesn't do anything for me. Maybe if it was closer to emblem on the real car, or if the grill on the real one was more in focus
some of the light areas seem overexposed. the idea is a good one but the presentation isnt as strong as could have been... the fact that the car and the horse are almost the same size makes the balance boring.
Nice picture -- wordy title. It looks like you've adjusted the exposure for the background, not the subject: a touch more density inthe midrange would give the car a nice solid feel, it's a little washed out as-is. Highlights are over-exposed.
