Greetings from the Critque Club!
Composition:
The red car was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, when this giant reptile gets hungry and goes for the goods. Very nice. Very original for this challenge. I can't think of anything I'd change in the composition.
Lighting:
The lighting is good for this shot, but like you said it is over exposed. For instance the mercedes left headlight (left in the picture) is completely washed out. As is the alligator's top teeth. It looks like you used flash or some other form of directional light, making the light very bright up front, and darker in the back. I'd like to see it uniformly lit, or perhaps just not so harsh of lighting.
Technical:
Photo is in focus, I like the contrast you did to it. The photo looks grainy for some reason (in the shadows). You used 100 ISO so I'm really not sure what that is from, unless it was the desaturate - resaturate process. I'd really like to see this without the in camera over-exposure, using photoshop more to get the 'poster feel' you are going for. I think this would help bring out the detail, and still allow for the poster look.
Post-processing:
Love what you did with it. The poster feel, the radial blur, and especially the bold contrast. All of it combines very well for the finished look.
Overall:
I like this photo a lot. The humor naturally. But the look and feel seems to work great for this photo. My only recommendation would be the 'normal' exposure doing the adjustment in photoshop instead, to bring out the lost detail is my reason. That and the washed out parts are just too bright, and result in distractions.
Hmmm, what about a little blacktop and dotted line? :D Keep up the creative shots! |

| Creative. The high saturation and contrast enhances the message, but a bit overexposed and I find the white areas distracting. |

| The color saturation, overexposed excitement, adn motion blur of the surounding cars all make this an excellent shot for me! I'm voting it amongst my highest for the week. Top 20. |

| I like the sense of humour in this one. Colours are fine and the lighting works. 7 |
