Shut up and Drive - 27/366

    Dashboard of my friends car. I saw this while he was driving me around and I knew that I had to get a shot of it.

      Beautiful, I like the color and the composition. The repeated circles looks really cool, especially with the blue reflecting off of the edges. I love the glow of the blue lights and the splash of red on the top of the dash. The red on the top left might be a little distracting though, but on the other hand, it breaks the symmetry nicely and adds more life to the pic. Also it might help to move the composition up a tad. These are all nit picky details that are mostly preference. Overall, congratulations, this is an awesome photo.

      That is really cool, the colors are amazing! And how you managed to not have it blur at all! Very nice picture.

      I like the colors as well. I must say that I am not really moved by this shot. It could be a lot sharper. The clarity of the shot is just okay. If it were tack sharp I would have been more drawn to it. The composition is nice and the tones are well done. It just needs to be super sharp to really stand out for me as shots like this aren't exactly rare.

      love the neon look, did youtry and remove the red in the upper corner of the shot so that there was nothing but black all around?

      great shot.

      Thanks all - I think i'm going to try to blacken out the top of the photo and see how it comes out.

      pange - you are definitely right. I took this when it was slightly too dark outside because I had to have a long shutter speed and hold it steady on the steering wheel!
