Sorry Posthumous, you got me, so not sure I will be too helpful with the old poetry critique!
You know this was destined for a low score and kudos for you for doing this anyway. I do appreciate your talent, but do not have the verbal skills to express that appreciation. Unlike you, I am no wordsmith.
I gave this a 9. If I were in a market for a car, this would certainly help sell one to me!! I didn't give it a 10 because, although I understand that the dull colors fit with the overall theme, I thought just a tad more color or contrast could have helped. This was one of those out of the box shots that aren't OOB simply for its own sake, but because it actually means something. Wonderful!
hey Don..loved this stray from the box entry..just found out it's yours! I think there are plenty of us who recognize the moment you set up here...sitting in the car on a rainy day; the words. @ one time or another, pretty core to most of us I'd wager...
I like reflections, and this is a reflection - both photographically and poetically. Congratulations on the brown - a strong statement about the voters. After all, a car ad must have a color picture of a car, right? Duesenberg sure followed the norm with its ads, didn't it? (Of course, they're out of business, so I'm not sure what that says...)
Really do not see this as meeting the Challenge. This is a Photography Contest for Automobile Ads. This is no way makes me want to buy a car.............DNMC
Oh, I *SO* admire you for having done this. The more so because it's actually a *good* poem! Ah, the cojones of it, entering a poem in a photography contest.... You get a 10 from me.
