I like it. But I think I'd REALLY like it without the power lines.

The power lines kill the profile lines of the car. If the angle were different such that the power lines were above the roofline somewhat, I think it would make for a better image.

I've got to agree. Good start on the shot, but the lines shouldn't intersect the Beetle.

For some reason, this picture makes me smile. I don't know why.

Really liking the 2nd shot, maybe a liiiiiiitle tighter crop so you can really see the lines on the frunk and rood?
