It was the colour of the car that originally struck me. The PP came later. C&C most welcome.

I love the editing on this one. You can still tell that it is a car but at the same time it is abstract. The headlight grabs my attention right away. Very cool!

[Urbanflyer]

great fun!

Wonderful creativity you have showcased here John, well done.

[Shadowman]

Nicely done.

Nice color indeed John and a cool shot

What I don't like about it is the wheel to the left. It's already quite obviously a car's headlight and to further promote the idea of abstraction, I would look into doing a square crop toward the right side of the frame. But, that's just me :-)

I too would crop - but from the left and bottom so as to place the lamp-surround's center of area at the intersection of the harmonic means* - and so as to keep all the main rays in the frame.




* It is said that the use of harmonic means a.k.a Golden Ratio is more pleasing to the the eye, as I may have mentioned before and followed slavishly ever since.

Thanks all for the comments.

Chris/Ted, I absolutely agree that the crop works but somehow, I quite like the original as well even though it doesn't conform. Thanks for your thoughts though.

WOW John, what a great use of PP. Love it.

Very creative. Beautiful colors. Definitely made me pause to study it which is a success in itself.
