you don't need me to detail the technical aspects of this photo, suffice to say they are spot on.
so i'll keep it simple and say this "appeals" to my eye balls.

this is very good. color-wise and plot-wise. it has a special kind of american feel to it. probably because of the car : )
(was the car's windshield and all the other windows really green?)

heh, i had to go find the original.. yes, they were green, which is rather peculiar.. my white balance may have been on an odd setting..

Excellent, excellent shot. As *Nisroc said, something about this is just altogether more professional. I think the key factors here are the limited colour palette, which has a great, industrial feel to it, and the lines throughout.
The colours tie together very well, the green and orange as contrasting colours make a great combo, and the grey is both unobtrusive and unifying at the same time. The fact that the car and the tower are the same colour is just incredible, and awesome
The lines work in a clever way, I think, because they're the very definition of perspective - if you got a set square to start doing technical drawings, it'd have the same set of angles as that corner by the car. Below the fence is a definite horizontal movement as well, along the road and round the corner, whereas above the fence is completely vertical; it's the contrast between foreground and background, essentially, but done in a different way than usual (i.e. focus).
The placement of all the elements is excellent as well, that's all the practice showing through

ah, thank you for the incredibly thoughtful comments.. i'm glad you appreciate it.. flattered that you feel its of a more professional quality than some of my things.. I wish I could say all these thoughts flutter through my mind before i take a picture, but I would be lying.. i don't see why i like the way something looks, only that i do.. its rewarding to hear anothers' detailed perspective.

i feel like that fence doesnt do a damn thing for those huuuuuuuge cylinder tower things.
i like the colors in this. damaged and worn, but still there.
