Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a cute take on the challenge. It does meet the Beatles song lyrics/title requirement, but I think it's downfall in voting was probably the fact that it looks more like a vacation snapshot than a planned image for submission in a contest. The composition is a bit too centered. Perhaps cropping on the left and getting in a bit closer would help. It also appears that they are just walking by the car and not actually attempting to drive it, so that might have played on your score a bit. However, 5.6 is nothing to sneeze at. I'd take it and run. ;)

Keep shooting and let me know if you have any questions. :)

Take care,
Laurie

the woman behind the man is a bit distracting. probably would have been better w/nobody in the shot and just the car and wall

Nice shot, but fitting it to the title is hard for me. I don't get any feeling of a connection between the people and the car, nor the people to themselves for that matter.

Neat setting! The splash of red in the skirt really makes the photo.

Maybe if she was in front of him, with her red skirt contrasting with the most B&W environment... What do you think?

I want that car!

you haven't got the lyric quite right. Nice photo though

I've got no car and it's breaking my heart,
but I found this shrimpy three-wheeler and that's a start

Made me laugh, well done!
