I'm relieved that it's a Bentley, it just didn't seem right to me for a Rolls not to have a silver lady. I really like the reflections it gives it that unattainable feel. Maybe it's just 'cos that's how I usually see cars like this, with my nose up against the glass peering in at them.

Debs, not the only one who likes the reflections. It's what I like best about this shot. Without the reflection, I think it would be rather ordinary.

After reading through your comments, I've gathered this is a Bentley. :-) (I have no clue - I drive a Ford Ranger..) Also, I've gathered I'm the only one that likes the reflections. I'm always fascinated with reflections - kind of a dual world thing, which to me works well with the whole "dreaming of" concept. But as you well know, I'm weird!

I am seeing Rolls, but I'm not feeling Rolls, I think the reflection hurts a bit.

Only if you were in there. Too much reflection on the window. I know you probably wouldn't be able to take the same photo, since the car is too close to the window, but still... You could get rid of the reflection you know. Nice ad photo though, even though I wouldn't buy it from you :P

Uh? Looks like its a Bentley and not a Rolls. Tha fact that there is a glass between you and the subject takes away from the picture of the car. Nice try.

Too much ribbon, not enough car, and the reflections in the background window are distracting. Plus isn't that a Bentley? So is the car dreaming of a Rolls, or are you wishing you had shot a Rolls instead? 3

Nice shot. Random useless fact alert... Rolls Royce's never break down, they occasionally "fail to proceed" but they never break down.

WOW, wow, what a sweet car! BB

PS. Your title hints at a Royce but I hope you realize this is a Bentley!
PSS. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Great concept....I actually discarded one of my offerings due to the reflection in the showroom glass. I believe that there's a way to remove that, but I don't know how. BTW, that's a Bentley.

Pretty car. The image really suffers from the reflection created by the glass. In addition, the crop seems forced - i want to see the whole grill - and also the background is distracting

The reflection in the window hurts the advert appearance. Otherwise I like the angle and colors.

I'm sure everyone will tell you it's not a Rolls,it's a Bentley. Nice touch to still show some reflections of the window. This creates the feeling of looking in from the outside and supporting the dream of...

ha mee too.

The flying B would be a Bentley, not a Rolls Royce. Actually, I'd probably be happy with either... Nice shot. Shooting through the glass with the reflected Christmas tree adds a wistful touch that is very, very nice. Is that blue ribbon a hint?

The glare in the window is distracting to the eyes. I would have liked to see the entire front of the car. It looks like you were shooting through some glass.

the glare of the glass is really off-putting to me. also that is a bentley not a rolls.

Probably I will be the 435th person to say ... but but but that's a BENTLEY!!!

Nice shot that works well in the challenge, its a real shame that you had to shoot this through a window as the glass reflection is quite distracting (though hats off to you for the sharpness on the car given that you had to do this) 7

I hate to be picky . .but it's bonnet badge says it's a Bentley - not a Rolls . .

Still a wonderfull Christmas present though.

If you could get rid of the reflections this would be a really strong shot.

Too bad your only getting a Bentley.

The reflection is the most annoying thing here. Also would be better with a slightly wider crop.

great shot, but shame the reflection of the glass can be seen too much. I like the christmas tree though

Where is the red bow? Nice car, but I would like to see more of a staged shoot for it to be a car ad, rather then shoot at a dealer window. IMHO -5-
