Her creators named her rightful. She does looks like a goddess and her speed is evident. The reflections in her silver-skin and wings are intriguing. The photo is well focused and exposed. Light and colors are realistic and details are excellently refined. The goddess is perfectly placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A beautiful picture of the trademark ornament Goddess of Speed on the bonnet/hood of the antique Packard The red paintwork reflected on the ornament. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and full composition grants us a lovely view of your dynamic emblem. Yes, she does project the feeling of speed very well indeed. Well done and good luck!

A beautiful shot. The exposure for the chrome is outstanding and the streaks across the background give the look of speed to this shot. Best of luck in the contest.

Hello, excellent entry for the car emblem contest. This emblem is in excellent condition considering the year. I am curious, did you actually take this picture from a car? Good luck in the contest.

It is definitely appropriate! A great photo of this nicely detailed hood ornament,depicting a winged goddess holding a shell before her. Your tight framing emphasizes her,and your excellent focus allows us to see the detailing throughout. I like the red background and how the color is reflected in parts of the ornament. My only suggestion would be to edit out the bright spots of reflection in the background. I wish you all the best in the contest!
