Composition is nice with the off-road location. Sky is quite blown out; I would probably try to underexpose a little to avoid that. Tough to fix in post-processing. I would also like to see better color on the truck; I can't tell if the stripe is white or gray, and the rest of the truck is more muted than I would expect to see in an ad.

The nose of the truck is very cool here. I like the way it looks. I also like the location, but execution a bit salty(!) Again, if this is gonna be a used car ad, not bad ;)

Overall image is a little too blue but I like the cold winter feeling that it portrays. BB

Nice pic, but looks kind of like a snapshot to me. I can see it selling the truck in the Auto Trader, but as a photo its just a 5.

Cool angles and colours.

Good perspective and nice background. I like the angle of the shot on the truck so that we can see the hood and cab and bed.

Nice photo but white balance could do with adjustment IMHO

wile I like the comp of this I think it need a bit of contrast or some burning on the f150 to really make it pop for me. everything else is perfect to me. good luck

Taken from eye level. Most car photography articles on the internet say to try and avoid this and instead go for pretty much any other viewpoint to add interest as we all look at cars everyday from eye level - a suggested camera position to try would be just above wheel height. Well composed though, nice wide angle (another must on every site I have looked at). The horizon isn't straight though, perhaps consider squaring it up or more purposely crop on an angle for dramatic effect

Great shot of the average truck. At least it meets the challege rules and the rest of the image isn't over powering the car/truck.

8 from me.

Looks like you've clipped the front wheel.
12/10/2007 03:10:21 AM
Not bad, crop's a little tight, and the white balance looks off. Wondering why the "F" isn't capitalized......The mismatched wheels make for an odd appearance as well. Minor details, but enough to hurt what should have been a darn fine entry otherwise.

I was expecting more HDR editing in this challenge. Nice to see one! The levels are not perfect with the blown sky, and the blacks could be blacker, but I love the smooth lines that this editing gives. I wish I could do it. Feel free to let me know whether you used a plugin, or did it manually.

good location, good focus, good POV. overall blueish cast, blown sky, crop at bottom is too tight

Id just keep it, blue hues here match the old paint, that white left upper corner might piss some people off...6

Interesting crop. great technical shoot. A believable add for the car 20 years ago. Nice background. I wish the antenna would not be cut by the light. IMHO 7
