good shot, you can see alot of things in this photo.. movement, emotion.. the composition is nice, with the subject right in the middle. i'm not quite sure sepia would have been the best choice, but it seems to work good enough.

Comment by frisca:
very nice patterns of lines and light. I would have cropped off a bit more of the darkness at the bottom to preserve the rhythm.

Comment by eloise:
There's nothing particularly exciting in the frame, and the eye isn't led to anything in particular. Decent try at the topic, and nothing blatantly *wrong* with the shot, but it doesn't pop for me.

Like it, I might have cropped some of the bottom to maintain the integrity of the pattern.

This is a very well executed picture.
First of all the exposure is very good. You captured this beautiful dusk (dawn?) light very well. The resulting soft colors are wonderful. The exposure chosen also allows the cars in the mirror to be sharp, in contrast to the road on the side of car.
About the composition, I think you couldn't have done much better. Each element of the picture has the correct level of importance. I also like the reflections on the car, reflected itself in the mirror...
The image in the mirror could be a bit sharper, but to take a crisp picture in a moving car with this amount of light is not easy...
My main criticism about this entry is about relevance to the theme. Of course this is about cars, but for me this image doesn't convey too much the idea of transportation. I think this is due to the fact that the main subject here are the cars in the mirror. And those cars appear still since you move at the same speed as they do.
But this is a minor criticism, this image is perfectly executed. Very well done.

Comment by buck4free:
Thanks to everyone for commenting...

This is my neighbor's dog 'Bear'. Was only trying to capture his beautiful eyes (the other is brown, but always ended up underexposed) but when I saw the detail and color in his fur I was extra satisfied. I'd like to offer the full size version sometime soon, its worth a look.

This is extremely similar to Weather challenge - 'Clouds are Closer Than They Appear'. Either the same author...or a copycat??

Regardless, I really like this style, although I don't feel this is as effective as I found the aforementioned. I'll still give it a 7.

Another one! Not sure which one (of the two so far) I like more. This has a nice sunset but seems to have a problem with contrast. - 5
