I think for a close up like this with a reflection, it would help if the reflection is simpler. The street light reflected looks out of place.

One might hope that the competition would not paint the ad as "Hackneyed"... :}

One of the great symbols of Britain, instantly recognisable even from a small porting like this!

Good clear shot, well focused and exposed. Like the reflection in the black area. I would have liked to see it more straight on though, but I guess if you did that you may have caught your own reflection! 7 from me.

cloning out some reflection elements (e.g. lamp post) and body panel goobers would have helped. still a terrific job with a super concept. 9

A good idea on this. However I feel the crop is awkward, and doesn't seem to fit the image. You have cropped through bars on the grill, and the edge of the bumper..........
A major distraction though is the reflections we can see int eh paintwork. The house, the streetlamp, the trees etc. Eliminating those would have mave a large difference to this image.

i love the grill on these badboys - so very cool - i just wish the dust and road stuff could have been cloned out or cleaned off so it looked even more shiny - i quite like this shot
