Challenge:On the Edge (Classic Editing) Camera:Nikon D100 Location: the middle of nowhere in the western utah desert Date: Dec 20, 2003 Date Uploaded: Dec 23, 2003
A wonderful landscape taken in a great and suitable manner (red filter?) partly obscured by a car.
The car, to my senses, is too dominant a subject given the glorious expanse of land and sky.
I'd love to see it -subordinated- to the landscape (further away from the camera) in respect of the proper order of things.
The image, as it is, communicates a sense of attachment (on part of the photographer) to the vehicle, which, I am sure, the critical viewer is not likely to share. Yet, I believe, it also has the makings for what could be a spectacular and radiating photo.
Maybe it's just me, but I think moving the car further back in the picture and having it turned so it is heading into nowhere, rather than out, would have improved this photo a lot.
Like that the car looks like it is going to leave the frame, just wish it was cropped that close in the bottom right hand corner (nice to see just a hair more space). Love the scenery. Also, I wonder if this would have looked better in color? Otherwise, nice job. 7
I think this would have been a much better photo had the car not been in it. I really like the contrast of the sky and the landscape but the car ruins it for me.
something a little surreal about this, but i love it. great take on the challenge. not contrasy enough for my taste, but still a solid 7 (my highest vote thus far)
