First the goat, now the car     posted on 22nd of august, 2007

Based on our discussion about using our credits that we've been earning by blogging, I've purchased this photo from Maigi.

I love this shot. Here's a few things that stand out for me:

1. Obviously this photo is significantly cropped - but it was done in a way that really works. The crop is tight on the left side with the car and the highway draws your attention off to the right - toward infinity. Great job with the cropping. I think without the cropping it would have been an interesting shot, but with the cropping I think it is a great shot. I like the panoramic feel.

2. The whole photo has a great "high-speed" look to it. It just oozes "speed" which is perfect for the image. I feel like I need to fasten my seat belt just looking at it.

3. The colors are really vivid. It has a nice blue sky, with some good white clouds. We've also got green grass and perhaps some yellow wildflowers in the distance.

All it needs now is for a car advertiser to download it and give it a nice commercial caption like: "Lexus: Live the Road" or something like that.

Any other suggested captions?

LOL That's a good one... maybe he was trying not to hit me as I was riding my bike. Not at that particular moment, but some seconds earlier...

Caption?
What about "Mmmmmm, is it the left side I should be driving on or the right?"

Great article, this is an example of a great use of the blog and its incentives, well done David.

My ideas for caption:
Watch the road! or Wear your seat belt!. That's considering the car in the background. If this would've been a car advertisement, there would be no car in the front. Unless it is an image advertising a safety feature on the car.

Well, real nice photo Maigi... hope you get a bunch of sales!
Comment by Maigi on August 22, 2007
LOL, David, you are funny...
Yes, it is cropped, but guess what, only half of the sky. It's very unusual when I crop my images. I usually like to frame it before I shoot. But this one cried after a little crop, when I was done with zooming effect.
Thanks for nice comments!
You made my day. :)

"Live the Road" ... No, I don't think I can do better than that. :) That phrase has so many meanings, and it hits such a large audience. When I look at that picture, it actually makes me think of the road trips I used to take with friends. :)
