Greetings from the Critique Club

Um, from your musings above, whether to put your entry in Symmetry or PiII, I think this would have been an excellent choice for symmetry. It is just a bit esoteric for the literalists who voted on Pi and your score reflected that. (no pun intended)

However, you do have an excellent image here, nicely exposed, fine composition, and for goodness sake, you kept yourself out of the reflection in the hubcaps. Chevy emblems are handy sometimes...

So, keep up the good work and I'll look forward to seeing more of your work in future Challenges.

yeah, we saw the circles; the reason that it doesnt meet challenge is that pi is not JUST about circles. Going out and taking a picture of just any old circle isnt going to garner any sort of praise. I would have given a photograph involving ANY actual math a higher score than this.

thanks for the comments, but in all honesty, i don't see how pi *isn't* in the picture. there are several circles there, you just have to look! sometimes it's OK to not be so literal.

Looks like i should have put this one in symmerty after all...

I dont see how this one fits the challenge, if you have pi in there, its too subtle for me to pick it up.

Nice symmetry and tonal range. The background is a little distracting. Overall it doesn't really speak to me, though.

Creative. Nice framing/crop. Picky, but phone pole / wires in background are distracting, and the Chevy symbols not parallel bother my sense of order. Would this be 2 pi?

Dig the old chevy, but where's the pi?

This is a neat picture, but I don't see it working for the challenge
