Hello Jonathan,

Trek Earth is about uploading your finest photos to both show progression in your photographic talent and also to offer the viewers an informative insight of the destination. I think that this photo's capacity to convey this message is very limited. The windscreen wiper and mirror are blocking a great proportion of the view, the date mark is huge, obtrusive and annoyingly distracting and the ceiling covers the top third of the image. The mountain is not in focus and the colours are very bland. As unpleasant as I may sound, I am trying to point out that you must take greater care in composing your photos. A brief stop on the side of the road, to take a photo clear of any parts of the car, even if only taken through an open window, would substantially improve the photo. Also, a picture might be worth 1000 words, but it is meaningless if it has no descriptive note beside it. Please include a note next time about where this was taken and why you decided to take it. All the best and I look forward to your improvements.

Matt
