Photographer’s Note

Very hard to find a new approach of the theme "Yellow car". So I thought I'd show the (morbid) angle of someone who is about to be run over by a yellow car!

OUCH!

(I cloned out the registration number for privacy purposes, I have no idea who's car it is though)

Great angle and very original idea. A bit dark though. Perhaps it could be lightened. Well seen and very creative idea.

I understand your idea, Mattias. But you didn't have the light on your side. The front of the car is in shadow and the background and especially the sky is well lit. I tried a couple of shot under the same conditions, and they didn't come out very well. The color of the car is almost "swallowed" and it hard to see the yellow-ness.

It would take some post-processing to get it right. Either cropping off most of the sky (1/3 of the picture) and increase saturation on the rest. Or lighten the lower and darken the upper part - it's possible, I've done it on a photo of mine with good result.

But the idea was very original and good!

11 years ago I was crossing a street and before i knew it I was opening my eyes and seeing this same scene, except the car was dark red. No big injury but very scary. You managed to arrange this very well. The angle is perfect.
