To my he only way this photo could be aesthetically improved through post editing is by making this car really stand out.
This could be achieved by blurring a little the disturbing background, and have the car look ever more battered by enhancing it with the unsharp filter.
Cheers and all the best!

I agree marcus. After some work in post the image is much better, but still not engaging. If I was braver I send something in. A great, new feature, Craig. I agree marcus.

It applies to anything creative, I guess. Equating it to music, there are plenty of technically proficient musicians whose music lacks feel and soul, whereas a muso with those things can get still produce great tunes even if they don't have the chops.

There is nothing in it that makes me feel like I should ever see it again. To an untrained person like myself, I just feel its a pic of an old beat up car. that's it. My advice to the photographer would be to find things that grab attention. Angles that make me look at something from a whole new perspective etc While the technical parts of photography are extremely important (and one of the reasons I don’t do it enough), i feel that absolute most important part is having the eye. when I look at this photo, I’m not engaged at all.
