Can I be Simon for a minute?

This is how I see things...
..if we are allowed to critique

#1 ~Great use of apature, color and eye level shot.
#2 ~Great use of motion, very creative set up too.
#3 ~Was that a die cast car?
#4 ~"COPA" and rule of thirds, sweet.
#5 ~ Just plain sweet, adorable boy. Sentimental.
#6 ~ Wish it was in a better location - Garage, fence, wires, trash cans and such distract from the shot, very creative though.
#7&8,~ Cool too ^_^
#9 ~ ?!?!?! Gag!
#12~Looks like a professional add! The different lines, motion and "double take" that goes with it work wonderfully.
#13~Wonderful but if you had lowered yourself just a few inches and cropped out the buildings allowing only the mountain range to peer over the roof line would have been awesome!
#16~ Great play on words :D Background (steps) distracting though.

Great contest! Love U guys..... don't hate me

Hey man, I'm a she! Maybe I should add eyelashes to my Mini sig.
Yes, I meant Simon Cowell, the American Idol Brit dude.
I get concerned about expressing how I see things, but art and photography are what I do. I want to be real, yo.

Thanx

I'm so sorry. I had to write in a hurry, family yelling for me to come start movie night in the next room. I could smell the PopCorn too.
Which one was your entry?
I had to leave out a few in my haste.

Yes. It's a cheap matchbox-sized car that I painted dia de los muertos style to celebrate the end of the R50/R53 generation MINI. The figure pays homage to the late John Cooper & the diorama honors the demise of JOHN COOPER GARAGES.
