I wanted to portray the image that goes with a Hummer (daring, fun, masculine, upmarket etc) by showing the highly polished front grid and the scene of palm trees and girls in bikinis in the reflection.

i only voted this a 4, i'm afraid. i just didn't connect with the shot in any sort of way... i think more of the car than just the grille might have proved more wow, because, and let's face it, the hummer is a silly looking car and a picture showing how silly might be more fun than this almost too modestly sensible look at it. plus, i thought there was too much going on reflected in the chrome (not including the half a dozen versions of you!). if it was parked closer to the beach, and only sky and sand and sea was reflected, i think that might be more effective. just my thoughts, really.

That's an interesting reflection above the first "m" ....

very good

You wore a blue shirt that day...Lots of reflections of the parking lot. Chrome is tough to shoot. I've had the best luck with a 200mm lens to eliminate my reflection. Good luck.

I like the angle, but there's too much activity in the reflection. Not to mention you're in the photo 6 times. There's a girl in a bikini above the first M. If you would have made something like that more the focus I think you'd score better. At least with the guys.

I think the reflection of the photographer ruins an otherwise interesting photo.

Nice framing... but I find the reflections to be a little distracting. I think converting it to B&W would have helped some (for me, at least).

these are the worst vehicles on the road, they are obnoxious, ugly, and if you think they make you feel better, then tough, cause that is how i see them. Terrible, terrible, terrible subject.

I like the cars in the reflections.

Nice ;) 6

Nice idea. A more solid background would help this since the reflections are a little distracting.

I like the photo. I'm not a major fan of the Hummer but it's an interesting shot.

Thid could have been great if you and the other cars were not in the reflection
