A Morgan, always wanted one. As far as complementary colors, grey and red may look good together they are not however complementary. I like the car 6

Perhaps they do, but they don't really satisfy a challenge on complementary colors. This is more of a snapshot.

The first time I entered a comp. colours challenge, I didn't pick colours that were opposites on a colour wheel (search complementary color on the net). Even though there is a hint of green in this photo, it feels to me that you really didn't intend for the green to be the complement of the red car. Outside of the challenge, I think I would have liked a simpler composition ... maybe a shallower DOF to give the car more visual weight. JMO.

"Great ! I've retired..." is a nice idea. The subject does fit into the Children's Toy challenge and the title is prefect for the shot.

I think one of the hardest things at first is mastering the resizing of your shot. You can defiantly tell voters are very critical so I would always make sure you have made as big as you can. Also I would just make sure you have a good focus. This was probably a hard shot, especially if you were just down on the street trying to capture this shot. You might think about trying to have the lines straight in the shot, like the bottom of the rail straight across the shot. I know that you left the planters in the shot to show the horse as being retired but you might try a tighter crop on the sides. Overall I think you have some great ideas and the more practice in these challenge the more your work will grow. I am still extremely far away from top but I have learned a lot just by entering.
