The broken glass that is out of focus and in front of the whole photo bothers me a bit, kindof an attention stealer but the rest of the shot I like, love the DOF and the coloring in it. 6
The byproducts of progress - good choice for the challenge. I think I might have preferred a more focused look at the car in the upper right, since the broken pane in the front grabs the eye first, then directs it to that second car.
I can almost feel the heat in this scene. The choice of viewpoint is excellent, I like the shallow depth of field and the way the background focus has been handled.
I like this shot. Think it would have worked a little better with the focus on the car half way up the right side rather than the one at the bottom, but overall very nice.
No, this is what we call over sharpening. Okay all kidding aside, this is a great shot with a great theme, I love your choice of DOF. The pane of glass in the foreground of the shot IMHO takes away from the leading lines you have with the cars, I would re-shoot without the pane of glass and you would really have a wonderful shot. And yes, I would tone down the un-sharpen mask a little, there's a lot of haloing in the body lines of the background cars and grass reeds. Good eye and a wonderful shot.
