I wish this was my car. This was a very nice RX-8 parked on the side of the road while I was working.

The first thing that stands out is the lovely iridescent blue of the car. It's a lovely, appealing colour.
The angle you have used is quite dynamic, but that front headlight is almost in the centre of the image; the eye is drawn there and tends to want to stop there, which leads to a static image.
The sky is washed out, but against the intense blue of the car, for me at least, it gives a graphic quality to the image which I like. But for most voters I suspect they marked you down for this. I think your camera struggled with all the bright areas in the image, particularly the sky;)
The tree is a distraction for many people - why didn't you go and chop it down?:)) But other than removing it from the image (which would be illegal) what more could you do?
I quite like the truck reflection on the car, it gives it more interest for someone who rarely salivates over 'boys toys'. Equally the sky reflected on the hood for me just adds to the graphic quality, but purists would not agree:)
I also love the fact that I can see YOU in the bumper...but again for others..'
