Front tires turned as far as they would go and moistened with water. Red acrylic paint brushed along one tread line and toy truck snugly wedged onto tread. Avoided eye contact with passing neighbors.

Although a great shot, the Hotwheels and paint ruin this one for me. I like the composition, the lighting, the dof, the texture of the tire... Think this would have been way better without the add-ons!
Nice execution of main subject but what is that in the backround? How much effort whent into this? Looks like enough to justify the effort of moving that black thing or getting some paper to cover it over.
Excellent composition. The angle used brings your eyes from the bottom of the shot where the redline is and is lead right to the toy truck. The great closeup gives you a sense of the texture of the rubber in the tires. "10"
