This is in relation to your post "I don't understand why my pictures weren't selected as winners", which I assume was asked tongue in cheek, even though you may really ant to know.

This one didn't win because it doesn't have much to say abut the car or about the setting; too far back to be an abstract, too close in to put the vehicle in context. It has a good, diagonal composition, but the background distracts from that, and the colour gets lost in those reflections (or is it that the reflections are spoilt by lack of definition?) ~ So it isn't an "artistic rendition", or a useful record of an unusual vehicle, and it doesn't tell any obvious story or point to some specific issue. In short, if it wasn't your own car, there isn't any particular reason to take a second look.
Could it be improved? My first reaction would be to crop out all the street, just leaving part of the car ~ I wouldn't even leave the tyres. Then maybe boost the saturation and maybe solarize the image...that might make the judges sit up and take notice....

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
