I was quite happy with my score in the Money challenge, so no complaint but with this challenge I really had trouble deciding which of three photos to submit. The one I went with is very different to the others, where I tried for a special effect.
So, which of the three should I have gone for? and comments in general on the new ones please ....

Considering we only had time to take 5 runs with the car, and I had never tried shots like this, I was quite happy with the results. With only the two of us there was a heap of running between camera and positions while the timer ticked though *laugh*
I think you picked the right shot! I like the pose and simplicity of it. If you wanted a car in it, I think it might have been good to have the car still and her leaning into the driver side window.
LOL, nope, she didn't make me pay, well, not with cash. That's my camera murdering girlfriend playing dress-ups.
Thanks for the feedback there guys, I thought I picked the right one, but friends I showed all picked different ones each and got things more confused than ever.

Well now Simon, I have two minor quibbles.
First, technically, she's a "camera-maimer", but cannot be charged with camera murder, unless the laws are different down under ;)
Second, you promised ten consecutive macro submissions with the 100/2.8, you've been caught in a lie!
It's too snapshotish. Seems like a driveby shot. You know the type of shot you get when you're driving your car. The focus is decent so it looks like you stopped and took a quick shot.
The interesting thing about the composition is that she is looking at the left side of the composition and you have the street/sidewalk angled in that direction making wonder what she was thinking or looking at.
