Hi! Here’s a comment from the Critique Club.

First Impression:
Neat shot! Those lines are distracting!

Composition:
Nice angle for picking up the line of trucks. Close crop supports the large truck feel. Very strong colours. Find the “semi transparent” bars distracting. May have worked better for me if they were solid. My eyes want to stay focused on the trucks, to see more detail to appreciate the truck placement.

Subject:
Meets challenge

Technical:
Like the colours, focus and DOF with the trucks. I think you were too close to the bars, creating the semi transparent effect.

Summary:
Voters who speed vote would probably react the same way I did on my “first impression comment.” That would have hurt your score. Those who took time and actually commented gave you a 6.571 avg. vote. As far as Photoshop goesâ€Â¦that can be a crutchâ€Â¦it’s all in what you “see”

I have to bump this to a 10 upon further reveiw. I love the alignment of the trucks and the mix of color. A couple of minor tweaks you may want to consider. First, try straightening the image so the "bars" are vertical. Second, crop the image to remove the partial "bar" on the left. It might even be worthwhile to crop most of the white truck out and clone out the rest once the restrictions of basic editing are done.

Very cool use of rows and lines. I think the PP was done very well for this photo.

nice creative way to take this shot..the trucks with their tonal range are very dynamic on their own...
nice ahndling of sturation/tones/hues..glad they are not overdone..

I like the contrast and deep colours.
The bars are a bit distracting.
I might have asked permission (or would have snuck in, more than likely) to take the photos without them.

love the row of trucks but the bars, while transparent, seem to deter from the over all.

Those are some fancy trucks. Nice colors. I'm not sure if I like the bars or not.
