It appears that the subject on the picture is many times more important than the quality of the picture. To be frank, I'd never publish a shot like this.

EDIT: the car is actually blue, not grey:

he might be doubting the quality of the jurors

To me it sounds like the 'Weekly Spot The Nicest car and even though the picture only shows the car's antenna you'll win contest,' rather than the Weekly Photography Contest.

oh ok, i didnt see the last competition, but the picture that won was certainly very good.

I twice claimed that, allthough I won the competition 3 times. Having you saying the same gives me some moral...

Sunday i'll be at a classic car/bike meeting. I'll be taking photos. Lets see what happens then if I post some good pictures of old cars noone knows... just like your father does except my pictures are much better...

[Wouter Melissen]

I really did not want to go down this route, but you forced me. Almost half of of the picture is overexposed to the point where it's white. The background is completely distracting from the subject, the underexposed 'grey' non centered Jaguar. Like I said in my first post, the only thing remarkable about the picture is the subject.

Well I tend to disaggree, lighting is awful there are parts of the picture completely white, too many people in the background, other cars shouldn't have been there, the top of the central building should have been visible and as Wouter pointed out, the car is blue.

And please do not come with the "sour grape" argument because I did not win. My pic wasn't that good either

the truth is spoken at last... the location of the pic was excellent but the photo wasn't that special he took better photos of it...

like the one below...

It's better, but still not centered and the background is very distracting.

[shockwaveracing]

yes but the juxtaposition of the Phantom of the Opera sign (and what it says) against the car is what makes it interesting... and better than the one that won last weeks competition...
