Well, I know this isn't in the critique gallery, but you kind of asked for it, so here it is:
The layout and effect on the background are great, though I would like to see the car tiself less blown out. (minor niggle, I think the blown out car works here, but you lose some of the detail) My other complaint is with the text in the middle, it seems too "light" (for lack of a better word) for the slickness of the ad. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to mess around with this and repost it, OK? btw, sorry if I came on too strong, I'm a nice person! really!
