It amazes me that IR is accepted in showing contrast, but if you use a color style IR look a like to contrast between color and B/W voters say it is not for them, but like how it brought the car to there attention, is this not what advertising is all about. ????

Oooo hywind a couple of my current entries were shot at Jimboomba. I kinda like this, it looks like it's in a very plush showroom with deep red carpet and wall murals. It makes the Toyota look very posh.:D And yeah it's a bit weird and I love weirdness.

I get the idea, but the processing doesn't appeal to me. Sorry.

Heavy editing, burns my eyes... but you definitely focused me to your car :) not bad :)

Very interesting processing. It certainly makes the car stand out, but I find the red to be a bit distracting.

The red here seems a little over done (in my opinion), but I love the license plate! BB

The car looks good, but the processing behind is really weird looking, sorry.

Funky processing is gonna knock you down, but dial it back just a little bit and I can see this as an ad in an edgy youth-oriented publication. 5 as it is, though.

Fun colours work with white vehicle.

Cool perspective shot on the 'Kruzer' - I am just really not sold on the background - the sky and red background do more to distract me than anything else.

not too sure on the coulors

The post-processing on this shot is horrendous. The background does nothing for me, and the angle is so-so.. sorry but I am not liking this shot.

a bold idea, but the post processing doesn't work for me I'm afraid.

sorry this looks like a bad photoshop job to me

creative PP, but does not work for me that well. It's too unreal. Somehow feels "cheap"

Not liking the red background, draws that eye away from the car which is completely the opposite of what an advert should do. The ARB sticker wouldn't be present in an advert

IMO - the red foliage doesn't cut it - nice try at being creative, tho

I do not like the redness in the image.

The front wheel is clipped. I don't like the red background.

I like that red color, yep red is great :)

Was it driving through the scene of a nuclear accident?

Interesting effect. Certainly screams red.Looks a tad oversharpened around the edges of the vehicle. The grilleguard & antenna detract from the overall impression of the vehicel IMO.

looks cut and pasted. don't like the background processing.

A very dramatic interpretation of the challenge. Technically good, not sure if it my flavor for a car ad. -6-

I think I appreciate what you're doing, but having the grass and trees saturated ALL the way is just waaaay too much.
