Challenge:Orange (Basic Editing I) Camera:Canon PowerShot A70 Location: San Diego, California Date: Mar 18, 2004 Aperture: f 2.8 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/160 Date Uploaded: Mar 18, 2004
Pulling back a little more so you see the whole van, or just more of it, would help keep eyes from focusing on the tire. That bright spot an the left side of the windshield kills the shot.
Nice catch for the challenge. I would like it better with it cropped just above the wiper blades. Too bad about the crunch on the right side...especially if it's yours!
Classic van dude(dudette). Your compositon could have been less symetrical. I think that would have made it more interesting. The glare on the windshield is very distracting and you have colour cast. This is easily fixed in an image editor: In levels select black, gray, and white points with eye dropper tool - fool with it til you get a good ballance - then unsharp mask 125%, radius 0.3, threshold 1 - I tried it and it works very well. Contact me after the challenge and I'll send you the editted copy if you like.
