autoolComment: Hey! I really like the color in this pic.
First off, yes it fits the challenge. It would make a great magazine cover - lots of room for copy.
Technically it's clean. Those reflections are a pain to control. You can always wear black and try having someone hold up some black cloth to block out distractions, but it isn't easy. Sometimes it isn't really even worth the added trouble either. Chrome just IS shiny afterall.
Focus and clarity are good. Exposure/lighting is good.
As for the composition... I like where you chose to place the emblem. I'm not sure it's completely necessary to show that at all for a car magazine unless they're doing a special article on that make.
You probably want to just find the most interesting lines and curves to highlight. Without having a solid background behind the car though, it's hard to frame a shot that only shows the car. This is a nice one . I just don't know if it's the best one as I've never actually tried shooting a car before.
Overall, I think it probably would be used as a cover. It definitely has a target audience. For a stand-alone shot, however, it may be a little bit boring for the average voter.
Heck, who cares about the picture though when you have that car, huh?
