Hi Brad, your critique club moment is here ...
Well, I like this shot - after the shot I just had to crit I can't believe you scored a whole .8 lower.
Placing the focus on the second car seems to be a lot of people's bugbear with this, and I don't understand people's reactions to that: to me it seems a great technique to get a sense of both foreground and background, giving process to the range of distances rather than things just tailing off into the background.
I like the high-key lighting, and really technically I'd guess you pretty much achieved what you were after. So welcome to the odd world of dpc designer-photo preferences - because I've seen shots like this do very well, and I really don't think i can tell you why yours hasn't, because I don't know. I think i just don't 'get' this kind of shot - it isn't what I'm into photography for (I shoot 'found' situations in general).
Perhaps John Setzler is right with his comment about the background - things like this need to be really smooth technically to do well here: but I like the graininess in the surface the cars are on - my reaction ws that it might be texture rather than processing.
Without any commentws from you, it's difficult to know what you were trying to do though.
Good luck

| The diagonal composition adds a sense of dynamism - nice idea. Not sure about the lighting in the foreground though. |

Are these gummy cars? Looking at the bright colours gives me the munchies :)
It looks like the second car from the front has the sharpest focus, but I think the first car would have looked better. Interesting colours though! |

| I understand your 'transportation' theme in this photo... I don't think it's a strong theme for the challenge but alternative ideas are good also :) I don't care for your choice to put focus on the second car in this line rather than the first one... I'm not sure how that could help the photo overall. I also believe that a more solid background would help this image. This one appears to be suffering from post processing blues :) |

| Different. Might have been slightly better if the 1st sweet was in focus and had a bit more of an angle from left to right. |

interesting interpretation of the theme.
The only thing that I would suggest is to move the focus more on the
front car :) |
