::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
A bit too busy. Mostly what distracts me is the bus behind the first car .

Composition:
I think angle or perspective would have goven your shot a LOT of punch. What I'd like to see is cars disappering into the top left corner. giving the composition a full diagonal composition.

Subject:
The photo is, like I mentioned, too busy. Subject or subjects isn't well defined.

Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
Focus appears that it was sharp leaving the camera. Perhaps a bit more sharpening after resize would have made this image sharper though.
Colour is vibrant and seems very natural.
Exposure is a little underexposed. But, we have a problem. IF you were to expose the darker parts of the image correctly, you'd blow the highlights on the tops of the cars. I'm thinking maybe you just shot this at the wrong time of day.

To grow its vote?:
Composition goes a long way around here. Voters want unique points of view and sometimes very wild angles. They also seem to like bright vibrant colors. Just a few hints to get ya going ;-)

Summary:
Your score is respectable for your first challenge. I expect we'll be seeing more from you... and I hope to see you on the front page soon.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

That waste bin is where my eye got pilled to. Its just killing the most important line in the composition.
