Congratulations! I love the cinematic value this landscape shows, heavy blues featured with a range of emotions on your subjects captured, which fits really well in this contest. I’d suggest editing the contrast of the driver slightly darker for a more dramatic look. Well done!

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Plastic has transformed our lives, and is shaped and used in countless invaluable ways, in practically every situation you can think of. Uses range from the purely practical to the purely aesthetic, and exploring your world with plastics in mind can be mind-blowing when you realise quite how ubiquitous it is. How have you shot objects made of plastic, and if you haven’t, what might you turn your lens on? Of course we’re also now more aware of plastic’s serious negative impacts, and these may or may not feature in your images.

This is an incredible entry, graphic and bold with a sense of movement involved too. This would make an impressive series and an editorial in this style. Transforming our use of plastics into strong visuals. Well done and good luck!

The framing here makes this image very strong, a square crop creates a specific approach to subjects, and it's a success here with the repetitive curvatures. I like the tones used here, too. You have balanced the grey scale use very well.
