nice angle. I like the backdrop, and the way your angle of view is virtually under the car.

Perhaps move the P-Plate, and the copper ribbon from the antenna.

Nice exposure.

I agree, a very nice angle. I would clone out the lights in the middle windows of the building

thanks for the suggestions guys. i was thinking the same thing chris but wasnt sure to go ahead with it or not.
thanks again

Nathan

The quality of your work is really coming along in leaps and bounds. Notwithstanding the valid critiques already made, this is a superb image. You've got a really strong composition, made very good use of an interesting, but not dominating backdrop and used a sublime mix of colours that enhances the viewers enjoyment of the image. Thanks for sharing this.

wow thanks stubbsy, that really means a lot to me! its all you guys that make myself push harder to achieve better results! so thanks again.

I think this image is excellent from an artistic viewpoint.

If, however, the objective was to showpoint the car, then I think the angle is too low.

Great exposure level, and I agree about losing the lights.

I find the angle too low, only just though

Apart from that, it's nice and clean, pulled it off well

thanks guys, yeah it is more of an artistic view rather than showing the whole car.

nice work with the editing as well top stuff!

I agree with what's been said so far. If I was to pick on something, I would have liked to see a little bit more of the window arches, at least enough not to crop the third one.
But that's really nit-picking.

Nathan, notwithstanding the minor criticisms already pointed out, that is one great image

thanks piro, phillip and glen. much appreciated!

phillip, here is one that shows more arches but isnt as strong of an image. btw nit-picking is good!

the first piture is a ripper it really make the car look appealing,where the second shot well its just a calais

Perfect background and beautiful light! The secret of good photography! I would be tempted to select the car....invert the selection and slightly desaturate the background and then put a little 'median' blur through it. I would then invert the selection again and give the car a very slight contrast pop using USM 20/40/0 and perhaps very slightly darken the car. I guess the only thing missing is a couple of red roses on the ground front left of the vehicle! Brilliant job!

Beautifully balanced lighting and setting with great perspective.
cheers

thanks guys!

zeddy, thats exactly what i thought!

thanks for the tips matt, feel free to have a play around and post ur result. im not sure i would achieve the same result as u say, but if u were to show me what you have done it might make it easier for me to acheive it
