    The dark car doesn't pop out of the image because the light is too even and the sky is too strong.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: Eclipse

    MB is right....as usual......the background doesn't help this one.
    Composition is fine but see how you can barely make out the autos lines at the bottom front because they blend into the shadow?
    Keep Shooting!

    The composition is fine.

    If the car was some other color (Red, Light Blue, Yellow or the like) this image likely would work. The problem here is that the background and light are wrong for the dark color of the vehicle.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: Eclipse

    I agree with the statements already made about the lighting. i also like the composition and the setting is fine as there is nothing in the bg or immediately next to the car to cause distraction. The sky looks ideal for shooting as those clouds cast some nice diffused soft lighting on subjects but the black car here needs alittle extra help to get it off of it's shadows. A bit of fill flash might have helped in this shot.
    Good eye for composition
