22nd.... I am pretty wrapped with that. Considering this was literally last minette and I just did 4 or 5 snap shots of letting this wind up car go and then nearly getting sprung (I have been told I am spending way to much time and effort into these comps, so I did it while the wife was in town.). Adjusting the colour and posting an hour before the deadline.
I was told it looks like I am catching the carâ¦I KNOW! I am not blind ;) but the toy is a wind up one and can not go backwards, all my other toy cars are huge and wouldnât fit into my had.
I also wanted the âletting goâ theme to have a more significant meaning for this picture hence the âSlow Down â Stop holding on so tightâ title which translates to. âI am addicted to speed and I need to let goâ hence the fast WRX :) ⦠I was going to make the title âletting go of the chance of my dream driveâ but hell! I am driving one so it wouldnât make sense.
Thanks for the votes.

These shots look better if you start with the car far away and then roll it to your hand. As it is, it looks as the car is travelling backwards. |

interesting shot, but would have been better or at least more in line with the theme if the streaks were behind the car. |

Great motion effect. Nice composition and interesting use of colors and reflections. |

Looks like the car is rushing into the hand to me, not being "let go" of by the hand. But, that aside, I like the color choice, the reflections from the table, and the hand positioning. The background is distracting with the two colors.
Good luck. |

That's some really interesting lighting you used (assuming this hasn't been tweaked.) I look forward to reading the description and techniques for it. Compositionally, you've captured a lot of movement and action. However, for a "feeling" of letting go, I'd imagine the car farther along with the streaks behind it. *shrug* Still fun. |

I might have done this a bit in reverse -- the effect you have produced makes it look like the car is speeding backwards into your hands, rather than being "let go." |

My top so far, but it does look a bit more like the hand is catching than letting go. |

I like your title - great metaphor for the theme. I think a different symobl would have really gotten me connected to your message. Technically a fine shot, good use of cropping and composition |

cool effect. 10 points for technical achievement. however, the car is is going the wrong way. LET GO, not CATCH. |

One of those "woahhh" images as far as I'm concerned. Colors are simply divine, the lighting just adds to the mood. Love it! 10. Very well done! Good luck! |

Neat pic, how i see how you do it later on. I think it would be cooler if the car was to the left of the frame, or further infront of your hand........ |
