Shooter's Comments: Since I was shooting on the last day, I was looking for an overall photo with all of the elements of the car auction. It was low light and balancing the auctioneer with the well-lit car in the back was a bit challenging.

Editor's Note: There are several layers of information here. The audience of bidders, the people running the auction, the vehicle, and the sign in the background all work together to give a sense of what the place is like.
