 It was unusually hot earlier (and I live in the tropics) and while waiting for a cab I was thinking how nice it would be to have a nice cold drink when I spotted this mini-van half a block away. Pulled out my camera, set a 1/15 exposure and lined up for panned shot, wanting to time it as it passed the pedestrian lines to show how much it resembles a big coke can.

I guess it was a once in a lifetime shot, hot day, big coke can and one take.

First submission on dpchallenge. No editing, what you see is what I took. Well, I resized it, no optimization.

Not quiet stopped or focused and it would probably help if it was not centred. Nice motion blur. Good luck.

Interesting shot however it doesn't say landscape to me. Nice motion pan however.

Panning to convey the sense of motion is a good idea for this cute composition.
