Composition-Content
This was a great idea and very original, while fitting the challenge well. I love the almost silhouette here, which adds atmosphere to the shot. I agree with Bod, I think that cropping off the sides of the picture, especially the main part of the car on the left, would be a very effective composition, more abstract, but this would also fit the atmosphere of the car and man in silhouette. Perhaps it would have been good to have kept the bottom of the wheel in and cropped a bit of the sky off.
BACKGROUND
I like the bright background, it contrasts well with the darkness of the foreground. Not sure about the bush on the right, perhaps would have lookeda bit cleaner without it.
TECHNICAL
Focus is sharp here and the lighting is good, with no hot spots. Use of exposure was very good to get this silhoutte while maintaining the bright background.
MY OPINION
Great picture, perhaps a bit more cropping would enhance the composition and make the picture bolder. But, I already like it just as it is! Good Luck in the next challenge! Natasha
I like this shot alot. Reminds me when my car broke down while going to Halifax on vacataion. Been feeling bad for people on the side of the road ever since. I lve the silhouette and the colour of the sky. Good work. Jacko 8
Hope nothing serious was wrong with the car. Not too sure what I think of this photo. Can't tell if a storm is coming or it's just dark or you made it look dark. Right now it's a 5. Maybe later. PTL
Heheh excellent shot. Been there, done that. I hope it was just a pose and not a real breakdown.
I like the way you've almost created a silhouette from the car & 'mechanic'. Composition is good, though I would probably have cropped into both sides to make more of a portrait ratio.
Nice work, well done.
