Decorated Lorries

September 2018

Although not the most decorated of lorries, this picture makes me smile when I see it. They've certainly pared the lorry down to bare essentials but kept some essential decorations. You've managed to keep the image sharp but maintained a sense of movement so we can see that its not a posed picture. Well done and keep up the good work.

Well done on getting two decorated lorries in your image. They make a nice contrast with each other and give a good indication of the different styles that exist. Your image was obviously taken in strong sunshine and being picky a little post processing would have made it possible to adjust the exposure slightly. Nevertheless well done on gaining a top ten place.

It looks as though you captured the image whilst driving so well done on getting the subject lorry sharply focussed, and for getting as much of the lorry in your image. The vibrant but not over done colours give a good rendition of this decorated lorry. Well done on gaining a deserved top ten place.

This looks like another image captured from a moving vehicle so well done on keeping the reflections down to a minimum. You've also done well to keep the image sharply focussed allowing us to see the lorries decorations. Well done on gaining a top ten place.

Well done with the composition on this one. With the way the lorry is parked and your choice of camera angle, you have maximised the amount of the artwork that we can see. Perhaps a little post processing would have helped bring out a little more detail in the sky, but nevertheless well done on gaining a top ten placing.

Well done on presenting a nicely framed image of a decorated lorry that appears now to be a static exhibit. The vibrant colours stand out well and the tall grasses in the background could almost be sugarcane. A little postprocessing would have enhanced the image but well done on gaining a top ten place.

Judge winner

A nice portrait of a decorated Indian lorry in all its glory. You've captured the vibrancy of the colours well as we can see the photo was taken in strong sunlight. In an ideal world a bit less glare from the windscreen would benefit the overall image. I liked the way you managed to include a bit of the driver to make it a more rounded composition. Congratulations on winning.

A nice image that shows up the graphics on the cab side very well. The placing of the lorry with little in the background certainly helps to focus attention on the artwork. Whether this was luck or patience on your part I don't know. Well done on finishing in the top ten.
