Greetings from the Critique Club,

The hot pink has over powered this image and does not work well with the color of the car. It has almost engulfed the subject and this is exaggerated by the shallow DOF I would have preferred to seen more sharpness in the doors.

Composition wise it also is a little to central and maybe could have been better if the car was turned slightly on an angle. I think most voters would have missed the broken taillight and the angle of the bumper because of the harsh color and would found it hard to understand why it is in a broken challenge.

In most cases that I have seen the use of toys/models etc have not done well with the voters and because of that should be avoided unless you donĂ¢€™t care about the votes it receives.

Good luck in future challenges

Regards

Tim Sturt

WOW, thats bright. I might have tried not centering the car as much.

I'd be a LOT happier with this if the bumper weren't picking up the magenta sos trongly, and especially if the license plate weren't so pristine and obviously fake. Why one arth was that done, anyway?

not sure if i like the harsh pink background, especially since it is evident that it has caused some color to flower over the hood of the car (not reflected, but looks more like scattered pink). may sound too ho-hum, but i think a white background would've worked better here
