1) Lay off the Blur tool on the wheels. Gave me a headache.
2) Get the whole car. 1/4,3/4 just doesnt look good. *Unless your just shooting the emblem.

Other then that the lighting looks good, and thats it.:crack:

I hate being over critical, but I have to agree with Saturn...

I look at the shot & can't help but wonder what it was you were going for in the shot. If it wasn't for the emblem I prob wouldn't know its a Datsun\Nissan.

Saturn is giving you some good pointers... try taking several shots, diff angles, altitude, distance, etc... to help your composition. If the background is poop, open the shutter all the way to blur it out as much as possible & see what that looks like... I always find that some shots take a bit of trial an errors at times...

I agree with ^both^ but not so much on the 1/4 3/4 car shots!

Here's one of mine! http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/members-rides/488740-quick-shot-shade.html

But I'll say when posting a watermark, differentiate between font color and background color. That blue font with blue sky hurts! If it helps any, trying using similar colors in your picture!

I personally like your shot the way it is, just the blurred wheels.....ease on the gas a bit buddy! :lol:

Care to elaborate what to do different? You can pm me if you'd like.

I think some of the areas a little over exposed, EJ.
If that was done in the digital darkroom purposely, then I say if you like it I love it.

However, if that was the result of the shot, I would have taken more shots till I eliminated the over exposed areas to see those results...

Now thats not to bad. I really should have worded it better about the 1/4 or 3/4. I should have said yea take those shots but let the lens do the blurring, not the processing.

That is prob what he was going for. To each to their own.
