 It was tricky to get some light in this shot as the only direct light source I had was my in-camera flash and it was a very dark corner. There’s some glare, but overall I'm happy. I know this picture is going to generate a lot of crop and angle comments but there were a lot of unmoveable obstacles around the vehicle. I have little to no interest in transportation, so I tried to find something in the context of the theme that did interest me. I liked this picture because the various items on and around the car made the shot amusing.

this one is great, love the chaos and old stuff
around the car. Well done :)
I guess it would have looked great in black & white too :)

Very interesting subject! Personally, the shot would be improved if the lighting were a bit stronger, yet more diffused. (Did that make sense?)

little bright from the flash maybe different lighting or a longer shutter speed with a tripod and natural lighting.

While this is a good idea, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Everything is crisp, clear, and in focus. What is lacking is composition. There is too much around to take the attention away from your subject. Cropping the bottom part of your photograph would help that. The lighting is also harsh - it looks like you used the flash - that gave you that nasty reflection on the front window. Diffusing the flash (with a piece of tissue or paper) would have helped that a little.

Ironic title? Appears so as this old car's decline is well communicated.

Why am I reminded of that old garage in Silence of the Lambs? Blech! (In a good way) :)

Aww... if it weren't for the hideous flash, I would have rated this higher. The shadows are too invasive and ruin the spirit of the machine.
