I almost wonder if this would look better if shot from a different angle - myabe from right behind the car with a wide angle or from on the ground looking up at the crash. Right now there are too many other details that detract from the main subject. However, it's a very good subject for this challenge. I'm still learning a lot myself so take anything I say with a grain of salt. -7

I really can't see this being classes as extraordinary. it looks more like the crap I'd see driving thru some of the states near the trailor parks. Maybe this is where they get al the Jerry Springer guests from. I like the colors but could have used a stronger DOF

I think a closer view of just the Beetle and the structure would be more effective .The signage and the flag don't really add much to the idea and distracts the eye.

Mystery Hole? I don't see it. All I see is a car going through the side of a building.

This shot pretty intriguing. These spots held a lot of draw for me as a kid. Good job getting alot of the 'spot' in the frame. Might it be better to get even more in? Looks a bit too tightly cropped at right.

I'll believe it when I see it :-) There is so much going on in this photo that I don't have a clear place to look, and no lines leading me to something really interesting in the photo. My eyes are going from the wheel of the car to the flowers in the tire to the flagpole to the signs, to the poles to the left to the front of the truck and right off the picture until I start all over again and make my eyes tired.
