 My favorite color is blue, so I really had intended to enter the Blue challenge, but then I found this car at a local lot, and Wow that's a sexy car. I had dabbled in the idea of changing the color to blue, but I just couldn't.

I love the curves of this car and meant to create a somewhat abstract image that highlights the curves without completely losing the ability to recognize it as a car.

I'm sure I'll get comments about the light. I just had natural lighting, the sun was going in and out of the clouds. I kind of like how the light plays on the curves, but I could have done without the glare on the window.

Not a popular angle for a car, which makes it less of a car advertisement, which is not a bad thing at all. Great composition, light, sharpness, patterns. A strong 8 from me!

Nice photo. Awesome use of the color red... nothing says sports car than the color red.

Love the reflections. Would love the car, but a bit beyond my budget!

OooOooh. The only time I saw one of these (in all places) was on Saddle road in Hawaii on the big island. Saddle road goes between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, and one half of it is the worst POS stretch of road ever. The other half (where I saw the GT) was freshly paved and very curvy and hilly. I was jealous :)
