Support This is excellent and visual caviar. Love the colors in the horizon and the white car in the whitish surroundings. Composition very good and simple. Again, we see that Salar de Uyuni is an FP factory. --Slaunger (talk) 18:45, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If you know something about the Toyota (model, year) it would be a slight improvement of the file page to categorize it accordingly. --Slaunger (talk) 18:28, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I don't have any idea and I can't find any hint in the photos that I have, sorry. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 20:36, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am confident that some other editor less ignorant about cars than you and me will pass by and help out with the model at least . -- Slaunger (talk) 20:40, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Technical image quality not convincing --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:09, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Uoaei1, could you be specific about the technical flaws, bearing in mind this is a 16MP image from a 16MP camera. -- Colin (talk) 11:49, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Neutral~~ -- Would like to see the auto on the right side of the image looking into/across the frame to compare with this, with the car on the left looking out of the frame to the left. Or even see how it works centered, not being a slave to the rule of thirds. Kbh3rd (talk) 04:27, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Normally I would agree that having the car facing into the empty space would be preferable to having it facing away from it. But in this case I think it works exceptionally well, partly due to the fact that it is not moving. It looks a bit like it is resting after a long trip and the framing kind of emphasizes where it came from. --El Grafo (talk) 09:45, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know much about composition rules (and don't really care about them to be honest as I prefer spontaneity). Before I bought this camera for my current travels, I used to shoot only with films, which means that I would take only one shot of each scene/portrait. To maximize the chances to get a nicer result, and because of my lack of knowledge about composition, I would simply move around the subjet, move around the camera, and shoot the one variation that visually seemed the more right to me. That's what I did here as well. Also I won't crop it to a square format because I like the idea of seeing more of the horizon line in the background. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 13:19, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Changing to Support. Though curious about other composition possibilities, this is a striking image, and there's really nothing wrong with the framing. Kbh3rd (talk) 03:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support I love the efect --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 15:35, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
