Challenge: Song Titles, 2006 (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D

Galleries: Sky, Transportation
Date Uploaded: Jan 8, 2007

 taken at a custom car show at the Philip Island grand prix track in victoria.

I added the extra thick border to the right because I had to crop out a trailor in the background. (thankyou to SC for getting back to me so promptly about this)

Hope there are some petrol heads out there that like this one.

Man, you don't have to be a petrol head to love this. Sleek and spooky. Terrific perspective.

Cheers Rob,
The reason I didnt just lop off the right hand side and leave it at that was I felt that the image was too "heavy" on the left to be able to do that and it also would have centred the wheel (well, just off centre actually) and that annoyed me too. I knew the border would have been an issue for some people but for me it balanced the image. This is actually my second edit of this the fist one I completely burned out the trailor and building and even the ground was black, I will post that if I remember. I wish I could have entered that edit as it looks cool as hell and it really would have given the "too dark" voters the shits.

Lovely shot of this impressive vehicle. I like the dramatic angle, and the muted tones and dark burning in give it a real hard-core attitude. Well done.

Sweet ride, I like the angle.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the color tones in this and the POV. Even the reflections on the panel are interesting. One question - what's up with the wide right border? It's a little distracting IMO. Overall, nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

I don't like that the border is not centered. Other than that this is a great photo and a great car too!
