Looks like this may be my only "10" in this challenge. Great shot, very well lit. Love the shooting angle, the dramatic backdrop and the use of a model. Beautiful car! |

First ad I've seen with a real model. Nice perspective and great background. Love the deep blue of the sky (I do see a bit of odd color banding in it, though; could just be an effect of resizing). |

Love how the guy has a 50's style to go with the 60's car. I'd love to have one of these! Fab location! |

OK, dont take this the wrong way, but this would of been better without the model in the car. This car, minus the model, with the background and lighting as it is, could of put this into a ribbon position. I still think it will be a strong contender overall, but just didn't need the guy in it.

Cool shot and a great location for an ad shoot. The horizon is a little off kilter and not sure I like the superwide distortion on the front fender, but definitely looks like an ad. 7 |

Photographer found comment helpful. |
|
12/12/2007 10:58:54 PM |
I like the perspective on this one, not sure if the front bumper could have been shined up a bit but that would help the shot. Overall very nice. 7 |

I love the perspective and the elongated lines that the wide ange generates - i would just lose the model/ man in the driver seat - he distracts from the lines of the car. |

12/10/2007 02:17:53 PM |
really strong image, I love the way you have created a strong diagonal leading line with the car itself and the slight fish eye works very well. You dont need me to tell you that the backfrop is stunning I am sure. I guess my only minor complaint would be that the lighting set up that you have used almost makes it look as if the background is fake (ie posing in front of a painted backdrop) which is accentuated by the reflections in the cars body
Still a very good shot - 8 |

Nice wide lens. I like the person in the car. Not many shots in this challenge show anyone in the car, so it's good to see it here, and it works well. He just looks right for that car. |
