Nice spot - a really interesting colour matching subject here and a strong element of humour. Unfortunately although it was a grab shot I don't think you have composed it particularly well. It feels too much like a straight record shot and has loads of irrelevant background detail - most distractingly the other car. I think this could have been a 3* if you had addressed this maybe by crouching down and shooting up, or seeking some other dynamic viewpoint where the background and non-relevant elements of the picture were eliminated.
Great portfolio by the way!

Yeah, I was down on my knees to achieve a better perspective for this shot but when you're using tele lens, lower angle like in this case is not so recognizable. Wider angle lens was out of concept because I wanted to be focused on the main subject. I agree with you about the another car, but it was perked to close so I didn't had to much choise. Thank you for your observation. Take care.

That's a funny story. Given how closely he matches the car, I'd have bet it was his. Technically, I guess that's a good use of repeating colors. Good composition, good focus, very serious expression.

I don't know why I like this. Wait, I do - it's absurd. It's a good thing you explained about it not being his car although you could almost tell - if it WAS his car, he'd be hugging it or standing, knee bent with a foot proudly on the bumper. As a 'found image' sort-of-thing it's really good. Colours are nicely rendered, it might be a little better if you played with DOF in Photoshop to bring out your subjects. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for your observation Hamish. I like this photo because it looks really wierd, this photo wasn't directed at all, and it is incredible that he were there in the same colored T-shirt, as the car was.
