There were some great car shots in the last Automobile Ad challenge. I admire them. They are, however, outside my of my realm of photography. I don't own a car and haven't really driven a car in almost 30 years. I walk or take public transportation and BEV...my good friend who loves to drive. So I shot a couple of logos on a couple of cars and I decided on this one.
Just hope to do better than I did in the last Automobile Ad challenge: 5.0596, 46/58 21% and 20 Comments.

A nice, simple image. Clean and well executed, well cropped as well.
The overall presentation of the add is boxy, but then again, so is a volvo. I probably would have not had Volvo in text in the bottom, as the image is clearly volvo, and just had the three words. I feel this would have helped remove the large, obvious blue and resulted in a better overall presentation
clean and simple composition - the choice of blue shade works nicely - i am just convinced about the choice of font - the outlined text looks less professional than the nice block lettering in the actual Volvo symbol
