This comment is in response to your forum post. I was one of the 9 people who gave you an 8. This really doesn't look like an 'old' car, but judging by your title (Pristine) I concluded that it was an older car in beautiful condition. However, I can still see why you received so many low scores, this car just doesn't appear old. Hope this helps some.

Well done. Something like this would work well in the "From Above" challenge.

Comment by dtremain:
Certain manufacturers do a great job of maintaining their "look" for decades, making it difficult to tell the age of one of their cars. Jaguar is one of these. Someone unfamiliar with the marque could see a model from the 60's and think it was a current model. This was a very nice picture. "Old" is subjective - to a child, anyone over 15 is old. To a senior citizen, only things that they encountered in childhood or before are old.
You've got to admit (and you do through your title) that this looks like a brand new car. Take the low scores as a compliment that you accurately captured the car and its condition.

Joe, I saw your comments on the forum and thought I would comment. The challenge topic was Old Cars, this car, although a classic, is really not old. It doesn't matter which way you try to spin it, the challenge was old cars not classic cars. If it was classic cars, you would have scored much higher. It's a bit like putting a shot of a teenager into a baby challenge.

This is one of those cases where the challenge topic was pretty specific and there was not much room for misinterpretation. I am not surprised at all at the lowish score, in fact, the only reason I think it's not lower is because the image itself is decent from a technical point of view.
