ACK! That would be scarey! This is a good shot, the glare of the light is very well done as that is what you would see before you got hit. Is the preson in front of car a dummy (manniquin)? I ask because the back of the head looks very dented and the face doesn't look quite real, no shock, no surprise. A 6

the headlight really washes out the photograph If it was shot from the side more, there might have been less glare.

Looks like a zombie about to attack a car. ;-) Sorry, I just don't see any "surprise" here - the person isn't reacting, there's no sense of movement in the car - nothing that gives me a sense of surprise.

B&W is good here, I like the light shining on his face! The glare from the headlight is also really good, sets a kind of scary mood for the picture. 8

I see what is happening here but the flare from the headlight is just a bit to much for the shot...Would have liked more definition of the car and the man. 6

Maybe I'm brain challenged but I don't get this photo at all. Could you explain this please?

That would be the surprise of your life. A lot of us have been there and just got out of the way in time. That is a feeling of fear and surprise.

Caught in the glare of the headlights? It is a bit hard to understand whats going on. If we could see more of the face maybe. I see the car is facing him, but it doesn't seem to be moving. I feel more menace from the man because I can;t see his face. Does that make any sense?
