I learned a lot during and after this shoot - oh, how I wished this had been advanced editing... Actually, the front of the car isn't overexposed, but the milk was underexposed. I had also preferred to have the dust cloned out.
Suppose this will either bomb or end in top 10. In that case, it's also a new high score for this camera :)
Post challenge: Hehe, I knew you would like this - thanks for your votes. The print is of cause made from the "advanced editing" version :)

Congrats on the ribbon, I liked this much better than mine, but my "pretty sunset" overtook it! LOL I love the wide border, balance and composition. Very well done.
Three cheers for Point and Shoot cameras! Clever, creative and well composed...it really does look like the markings on a cow as was mentioned by dorset_rob Congrats on the Red! Red with 6.7317 is pretty amazing isn't it?
I love the way the patterning resembles the markings of a cow, very clever. Also the way the milk leads in from the top (for me anyway). And as for the find of the truck... Perfect!
Oliver, great result and congrats on your ribbon. There is much to like about this picture - the perspective,the simplicity, strong clean lines and rule of thirds used perfectly. Well Done.
By the way, in case my remark during the challenge was too cryptic it it was just a play on words. There is a well known (English) saying that goes "there's no point in crying over spilt milk". : )
