Yet another successful shot :)

Lol, I knew you could take a bad picture if you tried hard enough ;-)

Michael Shpuntov		13-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.

Sheila		13-Oct-2006 03:00
It is! Well done :-)

Dave Wixx		13-Oct-2006 01:31
You focused at the tarmac, wonderfully crap!!

AL		13-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)!

Yvonne		12-Oct-2006 23:37
The little car is so cute! :))

Guest		12-Oct-2006 23:21
Horrid. Great job,Ray!!

Eckhart Derschmidt		12-Oct-2006 22:41
Thinking of the same as nordic. Must have been a terrible effort to take this image - but certainly worthwile!

Barbara Heide		12-Oct-2006 22:21
Seems excellent to me! very funny !

nordic		12-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 Lindquist		12-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

John Beck		12-Oct-2006 21:01
Just great. LOL when I saw the photo and ROFL when I read the comments. This is a super entry.

Yep, breaks the rules! Must have been a real struggle for you to take one like that!

chrisse		12-Oct-2006 18:31

But they told me it was a 4 passenger model! The road looks a little rough. Jenene

Lee Rudd		12-Oct-2006 16:53

Nicki Thurgar		12-Oct-2006 16:46
LOL! Absolutely terrible, Ray! But I do like the perspective ;o)

Dan Chusid		12-Oct-2006 16:35
Well it's not so compositionally incorrect... ...but something's definitely wrong in there. : )

wernere01		12-Oct-2006 16:04
Pics we would throw away normally, are really good for this weeks challenge, aren´t they? Well done.

Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography		12-Oct-2006 15:40
Excellent :)

royalld		12-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 Floyd		12-Oct-2006 15:33
Hmmmm...I think this car is bit smaller than your usual. ;)

Faye White		12-Oct-2006 15:23
but I LOVE it!!!!!
