Description

Well I went meandering at 5:30 today, and came across this. I took a few photos, but this is the only one that sort of came out. I think the shutter speed was about 1/3. Upsetting stuff. Really liked the clash of the orange with the dull grey houses.

This shot really caught my eye when browsing your gallery! The first thing that hit me was, of course, the gorgeous splash of colour that is the car! The wonderful orange and gold hues, coupled with the highly reflective surface make for a really eye-catching focus to the shot. Once drawn to it, we are more and more impressed by the sight- the sleek curves, the gleaming paintwork and sparkling, round headlights- all combine to really show how stunning the car is, and really give this shot...personality and interest.

I like the contrast between the vibrant orange colours and the much duller buildings behind, and also the curvy vehicle contrasted with the harsh lines of the background. It's as if they belong to completely separate worlds, dashing, vivacious new sailing past the old and bland...There may not be a huge moral or idea behind this, but it is a very effective photo, all the same. <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />
