The light is a little harsh for such a soft subject, and there is a lot of extraneous clutter. A 4.

I think that this shout would have been nicer if the lighting was not so hot. I like the croping

Seems a little overexposed. I might have tried darkening it a bit if it didn't take the detail out of the peel.

I like the composition with the plate edge, frames the shot up nicely

I wish the places I usually photograph were so devoid of traffic! And I wish I could get my winshield clean :(

Very nice job of taking a picture from a moving car. I am looking forward to the end of the challenge so I can see what sort of camera was used and what settings. Everything is excellent focus.

I like the motion blur in this shot, but feel that the composition hasn't been fully thought through. Rule of thirds is usually the photographer's best ally and should only be broken when you feel you have a good reason to. Here, I would have placed the exit/ entrance which is the focal point on the lower-right thirds junction. I wonder how many pictures you took here... I would have set myself up here with a tripod and waited for an interesting assortment of people to turn up. The people here seem a bit mundane and don't really grab my attention. A tripod would have helped you with some much needed sharpness and clarity. I do really like the curves and lines in the shot. Did you set the white balance or was it automatic? The colour balance seems off to me. Also, was this set on a high ISO? The noise levels are really bad. NeatImage could help this a little, but that is seriously bad noise, especially in the ceiling.
To sum up: an interesting environment chosen with some great shapes, but let down by haphazard composition, colour balance and noise levels.
