This is wonderful subject matter for a challenge of this type. the car is gorgeous, and the blue shades are nice and bright and bold. Though chrome also looks very lovely, with the complimentary deep blue sky reflected in the top half of the bumper and the hub caps. only minor criticisms include that i think it might be prefereable if the background visible through the windows had been desatted, if you had cloned out your reflection clearly evident in the front corner, and most importantly, the car should really have been in motion. it looks just a bit odd (to my pre-conceived expectation) being situated on a nice picturesque straight road, but stationary. a very slight motion blur to the road surface would have helped, methinks. i might be wrong, it might have been in motion - it just to me, it doesn̢۪t really convey that. Overall though it̢۪s a very lovely poster-friendly image, get̢۪s a 7 from me and I hope it does well.

I would have desaturated the license plate, interior and the reflections to make it stand out from the background. I also would have blured out the license plate number unless you have a release from the owner. If the saturation of the blue was intensified just a little it will really stand out......... and look awesome when matted and frammed. Rated 9

Nice image ... the trees showing through the back window are still green, tho.

Beautiful! I love the angle... excellent focus and lighting. Good luck!

very nice! best car shot yet. My main suggestion is crop in closer to the car, esp on the right side. Really fill the frame up with that cool shape and unique angle you've portrayed.

Shouldn't the reflections be in black'n'white? Can't vote on this one, but I love this shot.. I don't really mind the reflections, but the green trees showing through the windows spoil it a little.. Great idea.

The blue just pops perfectly. Want to hear how you captured this. I have a very special family photo almost like this exactly, so it sent chills down my spine. But separate from that -- it is a beauty!!

very nice 7

Fantastic composition. I love the way the striation of the clouds compliments the movement of the eye back to the vanishing point.

Would like to see the car desaturated. Would work better with your title.

Great way to hightlight the old beauty. I would like to see more road in front and less in the back of the car - it would balance the composition better, as it is now, it is weighted to the left. Nice job.

Kewl ! Love that blue.
