 I am anxious to see who else had this idea. This was the first thing that came to mind, and it was difficult to shoot because I dont own a GM vehicle, and I dont know anyone that does so I had to go parking lot shopping. I think i atttracted attention when I was bending over taking a picture of the badge on someones car door. Well worth it though. I was half tempted to take my sleeve and buff it clean. (:

Anyone who votes low on this must:
-Work for GM and be a little hot on this subject
-Think it lacks artistic qualities
-NOT READ U.S. NEWS!

-Desaturate
-Variations
-USM
-Crop
-Resize
-Compress for web

You'll never know. We only pray.

Good interpretation of the theme.

Interesting lighting but not a particularly exciting shot, maybe a different angle would work better than just straight on.

So true, but no hanging by a threat but balancing on greed
 11/27/2008 10:31:56 PM
quite a different attack on the subject.

Good political commentary. A technically well executed image. Not enough here to hold my interest.

LOL! Great interpretation of the theme and soooo true.

The idea is good for this challenge and the shot is well done as far as the tones and lighting but to me it just lacks excitment. Maybe if the emblem appeared to be falling off it would have worked a little better. 6

I thought about this shot myself... nice lateral thinking
 11/26/2008 01:45:21 PM
LOL.....yeah, isn't that the message that we all want to figure out?! Great shot technically.

i understand where this is coming from, but its pretty unimaginative. i would suggest at least cleaning it up(or perhaps that was the point you nwere getting across)

LOL at the photo. I appreciate the water spots (looks grungy) and great lighting. I don't understand why you'd leave it slightly off-axis? Needs rotation. 7.
