Title: Resting and Rusting Old Fellow



Jurors Scores Critiques
Kerri-Jo Stewart 7 Very interesting car and enhanced by showing background. However, would have moved around a bit more so tree isn't coming out of top of car. Some fill light in the car may add more interest to it as well.
   
Richard Shapka 7.5 The light, shadow and subject make this an interesting photo. Making the old vehicle as prominent is good. Potentially an excellent scene.

There are many distractions in the image; tree merges with auto, buildings in mid ground, and power lines. Move camera position to eliminate or reduce distractions of tree and power lines. Change depth of field (open the f stop to f4) to get just the vehicle sharp.
   
Satya Danu 9 Lovely Composition. The position of the car to car to the left, showing the environment it “lives” in, makes a statement. The lighting is perfect.

The background is perfect, showing where this vintage car gets to rest. If you’re an aficionado of an editing program, you could bring out more details into the black areas of the car.
   
Total Score: 23.5
