thanks for all the comments. i'm terribly surprised how many really low votes this got, but i also recognize the major flaws (background, focus, i guess my color treatment didn't help)... that's what I get for a last-day shoot.

I wish I could claim credit for the idea. I wish I could have executed it better. Live and learn.

The original (award-winning) idea belongs to this crew, for their series of magazine ads:
Olaf Veltman, photographer
Rob Ranew, art director
McKinney & Silver, ad agency
Audi, client

Very nice. Captures the imagination...

Awsome idea...I wish the S2000 was just either a bit closer or a bit more in focus...awesome car.

Could be compelling with the right copy in the mid-ground

Funny idea! Well performed description of a man's toy.

Good idea, picture execution is not ideal, appears over sharpened.

that is my wish right there - awesome

! Great concept.. The light is a little bland, but I wish I'd thought of it first....

Not a good background to use for this shot, seems too distracting.

I think if you cropped to just above the top of the grey wall, this photo would work alot better. I like the idea and composition, not sure what the product is, since the car is not in focus and the remote is not focused enough to read a brand name. Semi-successful ad.

Great concept. I love the FG and BG for this.

Great idea, and I like the nearly duotone (without desaturation?) image. If only the background were less distracting, you'd have a winner.

cute

really good, great idea. Unlike so many pics this week this is the only one so far I can actually see being a great ad.
07/08/2004 08:35:37 PM
I love the concept.
07/08/2004 05:40:41 PM
Outstanding concept, smart execution. I'd have liked to see sky in the shot It doensn't hurt that I'm an RC car geek too. :)

though the picture quality isnt that great, i love the picture all together. and its definitely a cool car too
07/08/2004 12:00:59 PM
Truly awesome work, I'll give it 10 as often as I can, sorry that it's only once :)
07/08/2004 09:19:56 AM
Very nice idea. Where is the focus in this picture? its a little out of focus on the remote and car, would have preffered one of the two. The background is a little distracting, but a fantastic idea.

This deserves a 10 in the creative idea department. But the execution brings it down somewhat. Background behind the car detracts. How about a different setting ... on a track possibly? Or even on a beach with golden sand and deep blue sky. Or possibly on a winding "drivers wanted" road at sunset.

Cool idea! Too much empty space though. A landscape orientation might work better.

Just found the winner
excellent image
my tip for the top
good luck (not that you need it)
07/07/2004 03:00:57 AM
very nice composition.
07/07/2004 12:15:57 AM
good imagination
07/06/2004 09:46:40 PM
Great idea but seems out of focus.
07/06/2004 08:46:39 PM
GREAT concept but you missed with the execution. Everything is a bit blurry. I'd play a bit more and get the car and radio in focus. Since the car is the "product" it should definately be in focus.
07/06/2004 08:05:32 PM
LOoooooooVE the idea .... genious and nice pic to boot
