I bet you will get alot of "out of focus" and "does not meet the challenge" comment. It took me a few extra seconds to figure it out and I know it's not all voter that take time to look at the whole subject.
front of car not square to grid is a huge negative. very shallow depth of field, likewise. you might have gotten away with that has you focussed on the Ferrari emblem, but focussing on the windscreen isn't working.
Great idea. I thought that a wind tunnel shot would be a great picture. I stopped short because I don't have access to one! (I didn't even consider going down the model route!)
While this is a good effort I find that the DOF is a little too shallow and gives the impression of poor focus on the car, also IMO it would have looked better in profile (in the classic wind-tunnel perspective!)
Image is a bit out of focus. I wish I could clearly see the horse, but it seems like the focus is on the wipers.
Also, to meet the challenge better, a side shot (or 45 degree shot) would have been better, as the wind blows right into the viewer on this one, and that is hard to get from this image.
one wonders why any manufacturer, especially Ferrari, would want to check the aerodynamic performance of the rear of the car... HOWever, conceptually i like this very much. It would be preferable if the nose of the testarossa was in focus, rather than the windshield, but on the whole, a pretty good shot, with a cool background and it's very creative. 6.
I like the thinking here. The shallow depth of field doesn't help add to the illusion that the car is not a model. I think it would have been more convincing if the front of the car were in focus and the windshild wipers and seats were out of focus.
