Question Isn't it a bit too red? Wolf (talk) 13:33, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, maybe. I discovered the thing after sunset, so I had no choice as to use time exposure. The colors are original. I did not ajust them in PS, but here's a new version:

Question What about the artist? I think the least you could do is credit the artist who decorated the car; featuring a work of art without crediting its author would really be unfair. –Tryphon ^☂ 16:16, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely agree with you, but I do not know the name of the artist. I even went to their website and emailed them, but they never responded. If I knew the name, I would have removed my name from the desription at all. Could you please give me an advise what should I do in such situation? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:22, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you have friends in the police department, you could ask them to run the license plate number :) –Tryphon ^☂ 16:33, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have friends there, but it is a good idea. Maybe, if I explain to police what I need it for they will help me:) In a meantime I believe I deserve to be awarded with "unfair FPC contributor" barnstar :) BTW here's a side story about police. Once my car was broken into, and my camera was stolen. Few weeks later on the same parking lot I saw two men standing next to the broken window of another car. Except the two men parking lot was deserted, no people only few empty cars here and there, yet the men parked their van right next to the car with a broken window. The glass from the window was on the ground. The break was fresh. When the men saw me they got back to their car, and left. I was able to take few images of them, and their car with my new camera. I went to police, but they explained to me that as long as I did not actually see how they broken that window, nothing could be done about the men. They refused to run any check on them at all. I called my insurance company, the one, who paid for my stolen camera, but they were not interested either--Mbz1 (talk) 16:50, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment ~~The description of the image was changed to the best of my ability. Thank you, Tryphon, for pointing it out to me.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:22, 19 December 2009 (UTC)~~ I was told I cannot do it.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:14, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Too much stuff. The "wow" was lost with the modifications. —kallerna™ 14:05, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Definitely of interest. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 14:43, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The main subject contains many details. Therefore, I would prefer a very simple background to keep the balance. --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:16, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
