 I was driving around looking for something interesting to photograph. Saw this old Kombi and stopped to take a few shots. While I was squatting there preparing... along came this extremely curious chicken from a nearby house. I waited until it crossed in front of me and clicked.

The chicken is unnecessary. It would be an amazing shot without it.

interesting and boring-a mixture of opposites. Could have been better, had u managed to get a better angle...

7/10 from me and best of luck!

I have nothing against vivid saturated colours... but done with good taste :) This is unreal and negativly unreal. I give it a 7

Brilliant composition! Well put together, amusing title. I like the slight angle of the shot, it adds interest. Good colour too.

Pretty funny (like the humour) but without the title, not sure it would have been quite so interesting. Composition-wise, it's heavy on the right. Perhaps a little wait to get the chicken on the left so that it's diagonally balanced to the van could help. The shot is overall a little over-exposed. Still made me laugh - so 6!

Ooh, if only the colors didn't clash. The oversat is okay except on the grass.

Seems a little over saturated but is still a great photo.

Great juxtaposition! The blown out sky detracts from teh overall image. YOu also need abit more shadow detail around the lower edge of the tire and front
bumper.
