Good color, however the planes in the background are kind of strange looking as well as the helos around the trees.

So simple, yet there is something about this that just grabs my eye. I think it is the great mix of colors.

nice concept. there are some hotspots on the car, and the sky seems oversharpened?

Interesting idea, but all the wiggly lines - particularly the ones in forefround on the car tire and door, but also the cumulative impact of all of them together - become way too distracting and ruin what could otherwise have been a pleasing image.

That's cool looking. That beautiful car under the dancing stars :) Great job!

Sorry but this image appears to me to be severely oversharpened, the strong halo around the treelines and car are a sure indication of that, I would go easier on the unsharp mask filter next time you process an image. Just a friendly pointer as your screen could be teasing you.

Oversharpening has somewhat spoiled what would have been a nice image without it.
