 Shot outside the Port Augusta Power Station. The car is actually on the road behind the water pipes but the road is raised giving the impression that the car is actually driving on the pipe.

Hi from the Critique Club!

Composition: The first thing that strikes me here is that you have broken one of the rules about composition and you have put your subject in the middle of the frame. I guess you did this so that it is "framed" by the two industrial buildings? I don't think that was needed. What would be better is to have the car to the left so it looks like it was driving through the shot.

Technical: The illusion of the car on the pipe is cool. For DPC it isn't so obvious without reading the notes. I suggest you imply this in your title for the voters eg: "You take the road, I'll take the pipe!"...or something like that. The lighting feels a bit flat, some added contrast may help the shot. If you have photoshop try playing with the Levels and Contrast adjustments on each image and see if it makes an improvement. Other editing packages will have equivalents.

Feel: The idea of the car on the pipe is cool but the overall feel of the shot is a bit flat.

PM me if you have any questions

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.
