PS#5 Opinion on my submission?

photog01

Hey grinners,
A friend introduced me to the site and told me about the contest. Figured I'd check it out. I'm submitting my image for your critique. I wanted to try a negative silhouette concept and executed this today.

The image has been submitted already, but it's my understanding that I can pull it and put in different versions if I choose to modify, correct?

Fire away,
Ryan in Sin City

You are correct. You can change your entry right up to the deadline.

As far as this photo, I like it. I wonder if it needs a bit of light under the car, or some other way to define the car a little more.

Superb!

A bigger size will help.
The contest rules allow images to be 800x at the longest size(smugmug L size)

I like it a lot. I can see exactly what you mean by negative silhouette, and I rather like it. I can't speak for the judges, so I don't know if they'll consider it one though.

Slightly more definition

Re- submission to the deadline is good to know!

I like the idea of more light under the car; in New Mexico, low-riders sometimes have blue lights under them.

For this classy car, that might be too much. Nevertheless, some additional tonality would definitely benefit this image.

Good idea...

Thanks for the feedback guys!
I left the bottom and side of the car featureless to really emphasize the lines of the car. Seeing the gaudy body kit, exhaust and wheels floating near the bottom I thought would be distracting. Just my opinion.
I'll see about linking a larger image, thanks for the head's up. Still getting used to this site and I didn't want to break any rules.

Just for comparison, perhaps a glimpse of the cars bottom would convince me as well.

Would this shot in pano form, less vertical v horizontal, emphasize the sleekness of this magnificent beast?

I not only like the image, but suspect you are right!
