Default Car on Cars (Lomo and Zoom Effects)

I decided to put in here rather than put in "C is for ..." thread, because I need your c&c on my experiment in Lomo and zoom effect of my photo below.


CarOnCars

First I only choose to give a zoom effect to this photos to add 'move' effect. But after reading lomo technique in this forum, I want to try it also to make the photo more 'hard core'.

Do you feel 'move' and 'hardcore' effects in this photo?
Do I did it too strong ?

Thanks in advance for any c&c.

It is not particularly naturalistic but very striking - I would be interested to see the original.

One detail that might enhance it would be to add some blur to the wheels on the main vehicle to make it look like it is rolling forward rather than just sitting there.

Not too strong, it looks good, but I agree with Wulf on adding a little motion to the wheels on the top car.

Potr8,

The subject is a good one for your effects. Is this "rush hour" or a demolition derby?

Default Nice work!

I liked the effects you applied and what you achieved with those!
The first thing I thought when i saw it was, i want to buy a jeep! lol
Not sure if it can be used for advertising (cause I not know much about photography), but definitely I like the overall.
Good work!

Very powerful image great cropping and effect. Motion blur on the wheels would help a little but, it may over do it there is already a ton of motion in that shot. I also love the previous posters avatar BOO kicks butt!!

Default Thanks

Wulf et al,

Thanks for the comments.
Actually adding motion blur on the wheel is already came to mind, but I don't know how to do it. I will figure it out.

The photo was taken in one of automotive event last month. Here are another photos for your pleasure.
