Pushing the envelope of the challenge details here, so I expect to get slammed in the voting, but I like the image so entered it anyway. I wish it was advanced editing rules, as I would like to be able clone out the dark car in front of the M3 and my shadow in the foreground.

Extreme wide angle, wish the background car had moved and that the bottom left shadow could have been cropped. With the right set-up (like a flawless showroom floor) this image could be an awesome advertising tool.
This is a nice shot, but a more attention to detail would help. There is a shadow in the bottom left corner, and another car on the left side. Noticing these, and doing something to remove them, before you shoot would turn this into a well planned photograph instead of just a snap shot.
Great angle - nice, sharp image throughout the range. I think the DOF you chose for this is just right. Only thing I don't like is shadow in bottom right, but I know sometimes you just can't have everything!
This is an engaging shot, except for your shadow in the lower left corner (-1) and the other car showing on the left (-1). Need to be more careful. I can't think why you are calling M3 'sheep's clothing', so, in my books, this photo does not meet the challenge (-3). Overall 5.
Excellent photo !
Could have been even better without the shadow in the lower left corner and without the other car but sometimes "elements" are against the photographer !
my vote : 8
Ah the M3 - a long time favorite of mine. This shot is so unique because of the wide angle lens - it's so close to being perfect except for a few things.
I know you can't do much about the funky color of the car, but eliminating the car in the background and the shadow in the foreground would have helped a lot (8).
I don't think anyone would ever call a 3-series BMW a "sheep" :-) I had a 1997 328is and it was a baby rocketship. Granted the M3 is even more of a rocket, of course, but... This is completely irrelevant, of course. Funky fish, nice pic.
I love the shot. However, please correct me if im wrong, but it looks like your shadow is in the bottom left corner? Also, in my opinion the black car in the back is a little bit distracting too. I like the focus though!
Brilliant use of fish eye. If this were advanced or you could take it again, I'd say try to avoid the shadow and the blue car in the background and then you've got yourself a capital P, Perfect shot.
