 I was driving Isaac to his baby sitter's when we passed this wrecked car. As we waited at the light, I reached across and shot this backwards out the passenger-side window.

Cropped, but not resampled, some tone adjustment. I don't think I did any sharpening.

Some degrees to the right could include the reflection of the wrecked car (on the front-right window). BTW, this is a nice "I see it, I like it, I shoot it" photo.

This shot is very photojournalismy...just finding something in the street, thinking it looks interesting and taking a picture. But, though you're heading in the right direction, you said it yourself. You should have stopped and planned it out a bit more. But it's a good attempt and it does sum up "oops" very well!

something tells me that the "flower" photographers on this site won't appreciate this shot...but I love taking shots from the car, I put em on my website all the time, so I appreciate this shot. The reflection is good, and the composition is there. Its not as sharp as it could be, but then maybe you were moving. The sky is a little blown out, but just drop the exposure a point or two and your there. Good idea and cool shot. The play on the category (the title) is a good idea too.
