It looks like you have over sharpened this pic or edited before re-sizing.Shame it's a lovely pic and nice composition.Almost a 10.

Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other.
The blue-green of this car calls out for more red rather than yellow in the picture, or else the orange-yellow in the trees requires more blue tones in order to demonstrate the complementary colour contrast.
Check some of the forum discussions on complementary colours for suggestions on using colour for contrast.

Great title! The reflection of the leaves in the windscreen is a nice touch.

Interesting composition and choice of muted tones. However the pixelation on this photo is distracting.

The comlimentary colours challenge is about

"use two complementary colors to compose your photograph"

This is more than 2 colours and whilst is is a fine photo, I cannot score it any higher than 3

Nice composition, there is a lot of noise in the photo though.

Blue would better meet the challenge. I like the car and a sense of humour.

Nice car, love the color in the trees. Not as strong as it could be, maybe a different angle.

I really like the low angle you took this from. the inclusion of a strip of pavement really helps. colors are a bit too muted for me... looks like there's a blue cast to this photo, which if fixed could improve its impact.
