Critique Club Review
I am not sure what size the original image was, but along the roof line and at the bottom of the window you can see the bane of resizing photos, the dreaded jaggies. Lines at just the right diagonal angle cause this effect as the software tries to "average" pixels together.
Your choice of location and lighting works well. The drawbacks are the Street Lamps sprouting out of the side view mirror, and the fan shaped structure competing for attention to the right of the mirror.
I suspect that your camera's autofocus was fooled by the reflection in the window of the car. Objects that are reflected off a surface, keep their original distance. So if the building is 20 feet from the car, and you are 5 feet from the car, the reflection is not really 5 feet away, but 25 feet away. Time to use the manual focus, as the door handle looks soft here. Also a manual exposure with a small aperature (large f stop number) will give you better depth of field to help get it all in focus.
I like the lighting and the setting. The color of the car works well with the grey of the buildings. Also the distorted reflection of the vertical bars in the window, work well as a counterpoint to the vertical lines of the building across the street.

| Busy and a bit softly focussed. The colours are washed out. The idea is interesting, but the photo doesn't appeal to me. |

| Not real crazy about this shot. The car window itself is fairly unspectacular, and I can't really see the windows on the buildings well. The reflections in the car window are somewhat indistinct, so that doesn't really add anything to the shot. I find the composition to be distracting. Did you try a closeup of the window, cropping out some of the distractions, and giving a more dynamic look at the reflections? |

| This just doesnt seem like it is in focus. The background is to distracting. Did you try shooting the inside of the door? |
