I think the vehicle needed to be further to the right. It has nowhere to "go" as it is framed right now. (Like it is going anywhere). Also, if you ever get a chance to reshoot, those front lights look really interesting. Like little eyes, or something. karmat
Cool subject! I get a good feeling from the photo, but I also see some problems. My personal preference is to be a little closer to the subject to get some more detail. I also note that the lighting is so directional that we get a good view of the side, but the front sort of fades away. An off camera flash (if available) could be used to light up the front. This would be even more effective if fitted to an umbrella. Another way improve lighting would be to take the shot more from the front and use the on camera flash for fill. Fill flash can go a long way to improve daylight photos. The fill flash doesn't have to be at the same lighting level as the natural light, it only needs to fill in the shadow area so that the shadows are not so pronounced.
I think this is a neat photo... the lighting is a little harsh... this would have been tough to do, but overcast skies would have balanced the lighting in this image.. i bet it would have made a great black and white also :) - jmsetzler
I really heel your subject should dominate the scene more, with a tighter cropping or a more interesting angle. This subject has potential, you should take as many pictures from as many perspectives as possible.
Great subject, angle, shadows, etc. Only thing - the subject is a bit to 'loose' (is that a real term?) in the shot for me - maybe just getting in a touch closer or cropping a touch tighter and filling the frame with the subject would have really done it for me - very subjective though. - lamedos
