Weak support -- There's something I can't put my finger on that's bothering me when I look at the image. Very nice indeed, but something's nagging me... could it be lighting on the door?

Ah, cloudy. That might be part of it (as I noted above, it is a little dark on the doors). Not sure whether to go full support or stay partial. I'll consider

Cloudy? Those are pretty strong shadows for a cloudy day. (However, on that, perhaps it's the minor backlighting, with the sun being slightly to the rear of the car?) --

Yes, I think so. However, I don't know how you could get that lighted edge like that unless the whole ceiling was all one big light. Which, you know, it technically couldn't be. Unless you tried very hard.

Sorry, I think wires may have been crossed somewhere. As you said earlier this is outside, however it's clearly not cloudy (or not very cloudy) and is lit by the sun from behind; don't know what you're talking about re
ceilings and lights. My parenthetical statement above was directed at Crisco and his uncertain problem with the image. --

Oppose: Decent illustration of the car but not featurable. The very unappealing background is in focus, and if the crop were not so tight and it had better composition, its significance as part of the Nürburgring complex might make it acceptable, but as it is it's just ugly metal. It's clearly possible to get images of these cars during races on the track (

Oppose. Unattractive background is too much of a detraction; nothing places this at the Nürburgring. Not especially sharp or detailed for a car image. Backlighting creating frontal shadows is not ideal as per above discussion. The high number of new voters tipped me off that some somewhat suspicious
interwiki canvassing appears to have taken place. --

support. It is a wonderful classic car in front of the historic paddock garages of Nürburgring. Therefore I took this photo. I wonder that the authentic background should be unappealing or distracting. --

Ich frage mich, wie sich die englischen Kritiker ein gutes Foto von einem MG vorstellen oder was ihnen an dem “abgeschmetterten” Bild nicht gefällt. Einer meinte “it could be much better”. But what should be much better? (Please excuse me that I can not say all this exactly in English.) --
