Nice idea, the background takes away from the car though and has nothing to do with the subject or challenge. If the background was nicely blurred then I think it would score higher. The high scoring images tend to be very simple. I see the car against a completely neutral/plain background doing better. The viewpoint is taken from eye level, photographs with different viewpoints have more interest. If taken from lower down (wheel height for example) then I think it would be more dramatic
Dude, love the ride! and pretty good lighting in the pic. Maybe a little monotone but a heck of a lot better that the pics. they use online too try and sell cars.
Not sure I enjoy this angle, I am thinking a bit more dramatic would have been nice. Also, your title contradicts your image, if you were having fun in the sun, why is the car in the shade? and who exactly is having this fun you talk about?
must say, I like my 2005 model better :-P
good focus and tones. slightly oversharpened. POV is a bit high, makes the car look shorter as is. white balance seems to be slightly off, I guess the wheels aren't blue, are they?
Interesting illustration of the effects of point of view here: this is so much like a million car photos in every on-line car sales site, except perhaps taken with a better camera, and maybe more carefully exposed. But its very difficult to make an impact with images taken from the everyday standing-up point of view - especially of everyday objects, and especially in colour: you become too much part of the world of everyone's snapshots.
Go higher, go lower, go closer, go further away, but simple framing from around five foot up in the air is always going to be very very usual.
Looks like a product shot from an ad, good job. Only thing I might suggest, is maybe a different time of day, the light in the top left area looks quite harsh compared to the rest of the areas.
