I made an ad that would appeal to me - because imo, full-frontal auto nudity is a drag. Drape that thang in a little mystery, perhaps even a little context..

You know I really like this! I'm sure you got all kinds of context questions about it, but I really like it! And it is really spooky!

I really like this, I drive on my own a lot at night on country roads so I'd buy that brave red car. I love the headlights shining on the road and the colours are awesome.

A 4.9? I thought this was a great OOB take on the challenge and a captivating image. Well done!

I didn't vote in this challenge but I would have given this a very high score. This is very cool. An entirely unique concept. Good job.

I really liked this one a great deal - too bad it received such harsh voting from the "If it isn't a whole car up close, it is DNMC". Like I said in my comment during voting, this shot really tells a story and that is what I have seen a number of car ads do recently.

I will give you good voting just because I like this photo. About the car, no way. This is not a car ad... but a nice photo :)

Great! But what kind of automobile is it?

There is a nice eerie feeling with the dark looming tree silhouettes.

I really like this shot. Probably at least a 7 from me, maybe an 8 or 9 in another challenge. As a car ad, though, I don't see it. 5

Cool! I love the red of the vehicle. Definitely a very spooky atmosphere.

Nice oobie.

Very beautiful and spooky image - I can see this as part of a more complete ad campaign or series of pictures to tell the story of this vehicle. It works for me!!!

don't like the near tree so distractingly unsharp

good idea, but not very well executed. doesnt excite me or provoke any emotions.

This works well somehow, great title.

It does have a spooky dark night look, though the suv is so small as to not be evident as the main subject. Otherwise it's a good image, I just don't think it looks like it is a car ad.

The scene does look spooky but everything else in the image is more powerful than the actual car itself. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

although the scene is spooky, as a auto ad this pic is not really working for me. too little car

What car is this for?
12/10/2007 03:53:23 PM
I just wish I could see more of the car...creative idea though!

This needs to have more viewable (car/truck?) to carry this off. The soft focus doesn't work very well for me either.....this is a good concept, it just needed a little better execution IMO.
12/10/2007 06:31:16 AM
Nice spooky photo, but it doesn't really seem to be about the car. :(
12/10/2007 06:23:44 AM
I doubt this will sell any cars
12/10/2007 03:42:01 AM
blurred and oversharpened, way too dark. cannot even rcognize the car.
12/10/2007 02:18:08 AM
Very interesting post processing. Spooky is right. A little to little detail for me for this picture to be a car ad, I can not recognize the product. -6-
