Completely agree with all comments. Much thanks for the generous votes.
Noise...yes.
The day I took this I had the wrong lens with me for this shot. <70-300 mm> I saw this car sitting in a nursing home parking lot! I was late for an appointment, had to make an illegal U-ie, and cross two double yellow lines. After all that there was a group around the car, and it had some type of official looking 'state of Oregon' plates on it.
I had to grab it and go which I did, but not my best entry. Again thanks all.
Cool car, and yes, it is quite orange, but the framing of this just doesn't work at all, there's no place that attracts my eye, and if the intent was to have just the color as a subject, the non-orange parts are very distracting to that.
I never did like the targa that much - much prefer the normal version... anywoo, that will not be influencing my voting because I still think this is a really good picture, and you've chosen the best bit of any 911 - the rear wheel arch. The light really works for his picture, showing off all the curves nicely. It's a bit regrettable the green car is reflected in the shot, but other than calling a tow truck, I guess that's something unavoidable (shame only basic editting was allowed). However, it certainly is ornage (a very nice retro one at that) so I don't think i'm unreasonable giving an 8.
