Wow! Striking image. Great composition with the lamp perfectly positioned in the frame. Love the blue and the fact that it fills the frame. Love the rust! Love the whole effect, which is kind of minimalistic and yet conveys so much. The clarity is great. The image is great! Thank you for submitting it!

This is a stunning use of selective colour and a great example of white working to good effect. The shapes and lines in the vehicle and the lamps are an excellent subject. The composition also places the red lamps in just the right part of the frame to maximise impact. Thank you for submitting your image to the contest.

I loved this as soon as I saw it! A splash of red and silver poking out of a sea of grey. The torn shreds of the cover frame the subject nicely and catch the light. The composition is such that the main subject has the right amount of plain grey to make it pop out.. The image is also different to all the others submitted and its a bit of fun, almost like the car wants to be taken out and driven! Thank you for submitting your image to the competition.

This image stood out for me because of its clean simplicity and perfect composition. The bokeh effect and the dark green background perfectly complement the main subject and the dark bodywork of the car. The use of light and shade is perfect. The smooth shining glass and metal of the light are strikingly centre stage, and the whole image works so well. Thank you for entering the competition.

I love this image because of the colour and the shapes. It's a great close up. So often we fail to notice what is in front of our eyes and this is an example of the camera helping us to see the wonder and beauty in man made objects, as well as in nature. Glass and metal are great subjects and this picture shows them off to excellent effect. Thank you for submitting your picture to the competition.

I love this image because of the blue colour, and the reflection of the sky and telegraph wires. and the shapes. The photographer's reflection is caught in the bumper and it might have been good to just step back and avoid that. Glass and metal are great reflective surfaces and photographic subjects and this picture shows them off to excellent effect. Thank you for submitting your picture to the competition.

I love the gold headlamp framed by the black background. The use of negative space in the bottom left of the frame is very effective. The lettering on the glass is sharp and beautiful. Great use of the rule of thirds to position the subject.. The slightly blurred words, on a slant add interest. Thank you for submitting this great image.

The play of light on the blue bodywork of the vehicle creates a great effect in this image. The composition is excellent with the lamp perfectly positioned, centre stage . The different elements of the image complement each other, the heart shaped lamp, the metal details and the expense of blue. Thank you for submitting this great image.

Beautifully composed minimalistic image that stood out amongst others that were far more colourful, simplicity winning out! The yellow light, with its concentric circles, is perfectly positioned and framed by the dark background and the bodywork of the vehicle. The slight blur and the raindrops add to the beauty of the image. Thank you for entering the competition.

In this contest I am looking for your close up photos of the front or rear lights of a vehicle, with the bulbs not lit. Photos can be in colour or monochrome. The bulbs and surrounding area of the vehicle present a variety of shapes and reflective surfaces that can make for an interesting close up photo, so I am looking forward to seeing your photos.

This image made me smile because it looks like an owl. Its well composed and you have made good use of the rust and the shapes to create something interesting. I could not pass it by without adding the comment that I love it. Thank you for entering the competition.

This image arrived well into the competition and I put it straight into the top ten. It is fabulous composition in my view, with the oval shape so well-placed and framed. The depth, shapes and patterns within the car headlight are striking, especially with the rain on the surface. The raindrops on the car body and the way the light is falling and reflecting are also striking. The image works really well in black and white. Thank you for submitting it to the competition.

I love the grey, red and silver combination. The reflection of the clouds and sky really adds to the image. The light itself is nicely positioned in the frame, sandwiched between bodywork and bumper. Redundant background elements have been avoided by good positioning and getting in close. Thank you for submitting your image.

Red, red, red. What a colour it is for impact. You have really gone for it by zooming in and filling the frame with consistent striking colour. The detailing, the plsy of light and the shapes all add to the impact. Thank you for submitting this great image.

Great image. The black background really sets off the red and silver vehicle and its a good use of negative space. The image is nicely symmetrical. I love the colours, shapes and reflective surfaces. Thank you for submitting your image to the contest.

Wonderful image. The vehicle looks so powerful from this angle complemented by the clever use of background. The white streaks in the blue work so well, conveying the sense of power and speed. At the same time the reflective black and silver, and the various shapes create a stunning foreground. Thank you for submitting this great image.
