Lol, I knew you could take a bad picture if you tried hard enough ;-)
Michael Shpuntov13-Oct-2006 03:13
Is there any rule that has not been broken here? Terrible shot. Directly into the basket.... Add congrats with excellent entry Ray.
Sheila13-Oct-2006 03:00
It is! Well done :-)
Dave Wixx13-Oct-2006 01:31
You focused at the tarmac, wonderfully crap!!
AL13-Oct-2006 01:05
LOL @ your title :-))) I must be in a toy car dreamland! But those mini-cars in the background were not as cute as yours. Love it (despite all imperfection)!
Yvonne12-Oct-2006 23:37
The little car is so cute! :))
Guest 12-Oct-2006 23:21
Horrid. Great job,Ray!!

Thinking of the same as nordic. Must have been a terrible effort to take this image - but certainly worthwile!
Barbara Heide12-Oct-2006 22:21
Seems excellent to me! very funny !
nordic12-Oct-2006 21:53
Wish i was there to have seen you take this, or did you just chuck the camera on the floor! Success!
Jannik Lindquist12-Oct-2006 21:02
Hmmm...that car and its movement towards the frame is, IMO, too interesting for the picture to be completely terrible.Even the light is interesting. A blurred car moving out of the picture into the dark. Even with the incredibly distracting background this already suggest a powerful story. Sorry ;-) GMV

Just great. LOL when I saw the photo and ROFL when I read the comments. This is a super entry.

Must have been a real struggle for you to take one like that!

Nicki Thurgar12-Oct-2006 16:46
LOL! Absolutely terrible, Ray! But I do like the perspective ;o)
Dan Chusid12-Oct-2006 16:35
Well it's not so compositionally incorrect...
...but something's definitely wrong in there.
: )
wernere0112-Oct-2006 16:04
Pics we would throw away normally, are really good for this weeks challenge, aren´t they?
Well done.

Excellent :)
royalld12-Oct-2006 15:35
This photo is so interesting that it does not require any rules.
Therefore, you broke the rules by not following the rules of today's challenge :^)
Bob Floyd12-Oct-2006 15:33
Hmmmm...I think this car is bit smaller than your usual. ;)
Faye White12-Oct-2006 15:23
