    Re: A badge of honor

    In my opinion, you're very close on both shots.

    The emblem on the first shot looks nice, but that branch in the way is a killer. The scene should open up there, with the branches naturally angling left or right. Like I said, close.

    The second shot also has great potential. But the background hurts here - that telephone pole definitely needs to go. I also wish the background was darker, so not to compete with the car for attention. The headlight and front part of the car is quite interesting. The rust color part is also great, the back color less so.

    I think this place calls for a reshoot if you can sneak in again

    The first one speaks to me. Someone's forgotten pride and joy being overcome by time and nature. The branch adds to the feeling for me.
    Second one the bg does spoil what otherwise would be a good shot.
    Keep Shooting!

    I like what you are doing here but......

    Somehow in that first shot you should have moved the camera around until the head badge wasn't crossed by the foliage. I really do like your use of the plants in both of these images.

    That pole in the background of the second image is unfortunate.......
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: A badge of honor

    thanks for all comments and i really see what you are talking about,i suppose with the full length car i could of moved over abit and omitted the bg pole,but on both shots i wanted the viewer to understand the abandonment of the actual car,to show that it was not just parked,there will be other opprotunities to reshoot and keep in mind for the next car that comes across my path,thanks for all the input.
