I shot this hubcap on the way to the Post Office. I cropped it, my dad helped me rotate it so the logo was straight, and upsampled it for me since the crop was pretty small. There are no other adjustments.

Isaac,
You have chosen a very good subject for "symmetry." It is not a typical symmetrical shot, and that helps to add interest. Also, I like the way it is in the center of a square frame. I think that helps to emphasize the the shape of the tire. I also like that the rubber part is almost completely invisible, making it look like the rim part is suspended or floating in air.

I think something that would have made this better, though, would have been to maybe find a car sitting still so that you could have gotten really close to it. That way you wouldn't have to sample up and it would be a lot clearer. Your exposure and stuff is right on. Good work.

Definitely RADIAL symmetry. Focus needs to be tighter

Nice border, and composition. Lacks clarity, and has little impact for me, though I do like the light and shadow effects.

Being so out of focus keeps this from getting higher marks.

Nice symmetry here... border accentuates the shot nicely. Subject itself seems quite soft on the focus, and somewhat grainy overall.

I like the texture of this photo.

I would have liked a sharper focus, but that's just me...
