the other car in the upper left is a semi distracting element..other wise nice image...although it is also verry cluttered with the leaves and all...just another gripe.GL

I really like this, it gave me the feeling the car was actually moving.

3 - Good potential. Criticism; sharper focus on the 'jaguar', trying to get it to 'pop' more, a different angle/perspective and crop, trying to eliminate that car in the background and gain more of the car you are photographing, may have made this better in my opinion.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Technical : I like your use of DoF to force my attention. Looks like some of the voters thought it was "too much", but I think if you had done it any different it would change the importance of the objects.

Your focus is a little soft, if you didn't use Unsharp Mask filter, I recommend it, it will add just a touch of crispness to the photo that people like. Besides that, everything else looks good technically.

Artistic : I think you did excellent artisticlly. It's a unique idea, and well executed. About the only thing I can think of that would have improved this would be a more 'sideways' view of the toy. I think it would have more impact being able to see more of it's profile. Right now I just wish I could see more of it! =)

Challenge : You bullseyed this challenge. Well done!

Conclusion : You finished in the top 21%, not an easy feat, (I'll just ignore those two 95% finishes...) I don't think it will be long before we see you on the main page with a ribbon next to your name. Keep up the good work!

The soft light and the mood say it all.

Nice muted tones, maybe stepping a little further left would have made the composition a little better with a nice diagonal leading line. As it is the pier is neither diagonal or horizontal.

Not a strong tie to adulthood. With the focus on the toy truck it seems almost more a story about childhood and play.
