This shot is of a random car in a shopping mall parking lot so I don't know who the owner was, otherwise, it would have been great if I could have taken this in a controlled setting so there would be no reflections on the door. But, a team member suggested why not use the imperfections as the theme of the shot? Which is what I did. That was a great idea.

Good idea, but the horizontal border doesn't add anything.

i think the size of this is hindering it... also the reflections on the lower right are distracting.

neat shot -- there seems to be a reflection in the lower right which takes away from the clean lines.

Nice simple shot, composition good. I like the shadow the door handle creates, makes it more intersting.
