I got your point. You dislike the subject matter for anything more than an add. I'm just not for sure how or why this is constructive critisim.
I choose this subject matter because it lent itself to high contrast and metal like highlights. I thought it would work exceptionally well as a B&W image and it does. This was one of my first attempts at converting a color image to B&W by working with different channels in PS. This was never meant to be a work of art, but as an experiment and a recreation of what one might find in a magazine advertisement.
I posted it on usefilm because I thought it looked "cool". Now that is entirely subjective, but at the end of the day I'm not entirely concerned if other people don't also think so too.
If you have creative suggestions on how to better photograph everyday symbols or have good examples, I'm always open to ideas. Otherwise, I'm not going to respond further about the merits of having photographed a Honda symbol. A debate would not be fruitful or worth our time.

My dear Kurt, I guess you missed the purpose and scope of my comment.You still are young enough to try to read twice what you do not get at first.Going to basics, a picture starts with a subject. Then one work that subject ,the way he likes more or he know better.My criticism was not to the way you work out your subject.Muy criticism was towards the subject and its like of any interest, besides for an add.Did you got now my point? If not,my apologize.
Regards
jorge

I suppose a negative comment garners another one. I actually agree with you that there is little art work on my own part. The simplicity and definition of the Honda symbol is renown around the world and represents the best family cars.
I like this image more on its technical merit than of its creativity. I love the exceptional blacks and well balanced tones and contrast of the metal. And when rendered to paper, it looks very cool.
It could probably be improved with a slightly better angle of composition. There seems to be a shift to the whole picture that throws off the symmetry of the image.
I do appreciate any constructive criticism, especially if it is followed with any insight on how to have improved the image either at the time of capture or post processing. If you are implying you dislike the subject matter, I'm not for sure there is much value in your comment.
I try to always be open and honest on whatever I comment on. And if it is a more negative comment, I always provide my insight on how I believe the image could be improved. I almost never write hollow reviews. I don't find them very valuable to me or for others.
And remember that people learn best from criticism and not flattery. :)

Should be nice, but I missed the sense of this add.I see no purpose or art, only a brand name of a great car.
