This is a really great looking shot J.V. I like the touch of the girl in the corner.

Looks perfect to me, a cluttered composition rather than "clutter". Nice work! -mcbit

Thats a wonderful shot that works really well, the girl provides a nice balance to the shot, without becoming a focal point.

great shot, with lots of depth and contours - b.c.

Looks great mate:-)

I took Rod's and CJ's suggestions and cropped it a little more to square it up and pull the tire away from the center. I think you guys are right this version looks better.

Wow. I didn't recognize this as the bunch of cadillacs that are buried nose down out by Amarillo, TX. Nice shot. John

I like this colorful shat and it would look good even if the left 1/3 was cropped out bringing the tire more on a thirds line rather than in the center - still plenty of clutter! CJ

Great looking clutter shot well done, not so keen on the skinny crop though.

You're right Tom, this is a large piece of art called the Cadillac Ranch. It’s in the middle of a field outside of my town. So many people paint on it that if you add your own contribution, there will be no evidence of your painting within just a few hours. -J.V.

This looks like a monumental sculpture of inner city graffiti, and perfectly on topic. The girl makes it more than simply an esthetic exercize. Very well done. -tv
