 Pushing the envelope of the challenge details here, so I expect to get slammed in the voting, but I like the image so entered it anyway. I wish it was advanced editing rules, as I would like to be able clone out the dark car in front of the M3 and my shadow in the foreground.

Too bad about the shadow - this is a really neat shot.

Love the shot, but what us the disguise?

I like this shot, it is so different.

did you use a special lens for that? really cool! and well framed...

Extreme wide angle, wish the background car had moved and that the bottom left shadow could have been cropped. With the right set-up (like a flawless showroom floor) this image could be an awesome advertising tool.

very cool photo, with excellent exposure, sharpness, focus etc. i'm struggling with tie in to the theme though.

that rocks!
in my imagination i hear the sound of the engine...
great shot and angle, and rims btw ;P

This is a nice shot, but a more attention to detail would help. There is a shadow in the bottom left corner, and another car on the left side. Noticing these, and doing something to remove them, before you shoot would turn this into a well planned photograph instead of just a snap shot.

great shot, would be a good "in your face" ad in a magazine. Shadow in bottom left corner detracts as does the car in b/g. but 10 from me.

Hey, are you a member of Bimmerfest? That's the only other place I've seen an M3 in that color. Interesting picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2006 12:52:43 PM
I don't think it's in sheep's clothing; we know it's a badass car.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2006 11:02:52 AM
Very cool photo, can't wait to see what lens this is. The shadow in the bottom corner and the car off the front bumper hurt this some. Still nice.

I want to know how you got this - such an extreme angle - ehat lens did you use?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 08:18:28 PM
Excellent photo and good play on words for the title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 03:22:20 PM
hey is this a fisheye?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 10:41:41 AM
Neat shot but would be better without the Black car seen off the left side and the odd shadow in the lower left. I like the subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 10:33:01 AM
Great job - I can't stop looking at it. The only thing I would change is the shadow in lower left and rotate the tire so the BMW logo is level.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 09:37:07 AM
M power !!! YES it is to those that try to keep up!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 07:40:15 AM
Great angle - nice, sharp image throughout the range. I think the DOF you chose for this is just right. Only thing I don't like is shadow in bottom right, but I know sometimes you just can't have everything!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

You'll probably get a bunch of DNMC's. I agree with them. However, this is an awesome photo.I gotta give it an 8 just for that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 10:33:48 PM
Ok, three things.

1) You misspelled "wolf," and while you may have done that on purpose, it's still kind of lame.

2) M3's do not look like sheep, nor do M3 wheels. Cars look that look just as fast as they are.

3) I LOVE this picture.

There is no connection to the competition here, but kudos to you for having an M3, and an awesome lens!

I really like this but that background car and lower left shadow spoils the clean look.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 07:25:01 PM
This is an engaging shot, except for your shadow in the lower left corner (-1) and the other car showing on the left (-1). Need to be more careful. I can't think why you are calling M3 'sheep's clothing', so, in my books, this photo does not meet the challenge (-3). Overall 5.

Excellent photo !
Could have been even better without the shadow in the lower left corner and without the other car but sometimes "elements" are against the photographer !
my vote : 8

I love the perspective of this shot. I think the angle and lens are perfect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 12:16:08 PM
I don't see this picture fitting the theme on it's own.
The title shouldn't be the only qualifier.
Great picture though!

Well i gotta say thats my all-time favourite car but the composition is not great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 12:03:04 PM
the one point perspective is really wild, plus its an amazing car
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 10:28:24 AM
nice fisheye but the shadow in the lower left is distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 10:25:54 AM
and the disguise is? This just appears to be a car?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 08:02:30 AM
Don't see any wool!

Ah the M3 - a long time favorite of mine. This shot is so unique because of the wide angle lens - it's so close to being perfect except for a few things.
I know you can't do much about the funky color of the car, but eliminating the car in the background and the shadow in the foreground would have helped a lot (8).
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Neat looking perspective. Fish eye lens? Too bad about the shadow in the lower left.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 06:15:59 AM
I don't think anyone would ever call a 3-series BMW a "sheep" :-) I had a 1997 328is and it was a baby rocketship. Granted the M3 is even more of a rocket, of course, but... This is completely irrelevant, of course. Funky fish, nice pic.

Come on, BMW in sheep's cothing? Doesn't make sense.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 02:37:08 AM
I love the shot. However, please correct me if im wrong, but it looks like your shadow is in the bottom left corner? Also, in my opinion the black car in the back is a little bit distracting too. I like the focus though!

Eye catching composition and angle.

Interesing pic... (I have an '05 convertible M3, and yes, it is peppy...)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2006 01:19:21 AM
cool pic, cool car, but I don't think that it's "sheepish" at all, 10 for the car, 7 for not meeting the challenge, so, wtf...9

Brilliant use of fish eye. If this were advanced or you could take it again, I'd say try to avoid the shadow and the blue car in the background and then you've got yourself a capital P, Perfect shot.
