Interesting shot. The use of light gives it a mysterious quality. The use of layers is very effective. I thought, as I supposed most do, that I would be black. Thanks for this.

Well done! I like that you did this with layers, the wanted posters and newspaper articles. This photo has incredible initial impact and is overall done very nicely. The lighting on the car is nice, and the shadows around it really give it an infamous effect when put together with the rest of the shot. Thanks for sharing

Comment from Life is but a dream.


You put a lot of work into this presentation and have manipulated all well. Have you considered upping the shadow a bit more to bring in more detail especially at the bottom? All you do (and I think you know this by now) but go to IMAGES> Adjustments>Shadow/Highlight and it will pop for you. HOwever, you may have wanted it in dark shadow as you have to bring in depth and mystery.

Very nicely cropped and presented with full artist's notes both detailing process and historical perspective of image.

    Thank you very much! I actually have decreased contrast and shadow at the bottom because there is nothing of interest for the story. I wanted all interest on the car and secondary on the newspaper.

Great capture! Love the angle of this beautiful car. Great detail showing the bullet holes in a way that was not overbearing. I like the b/ground you feature. It gives more flare to the shot. Great job!

Informative artist notes. Love the angle showing the design of the car and this is sharply taken with great lighting and focus. A great entry.

This IS awesome! You did a excellent job on this Mixed Media.. the photo has terrific sharpness, clarity and the extra layers just add creativity and imagination in 'The Story' behind the 'whole' of the collage.. all put into a perfect framing:) If I had a six you'd be getting it:) I wish the best for you in the contest, thank you for sharing:)-Cindy

I don't like the nature of what happened in this car. Your shot of the car is focused well and the techniques are outstanding good reflective lights. Good notes and bg:)

    I do not like the nature of what happens in this car either, but it seemed to me an adequate entry for this contest since the headlines and breaking news usually stick to stories of violence and disaster rather than to more pleasant themes.
    Thank you very much for your thoughtful review and your high rating.

    Yes, I know, the news is all about that. But your post is very interesting:)
