- It's got a pretty high level of contrast.
- It's got the right white balance.
- It's a bit over-exposed probably (there's very little detail in the tire/wheel well area. This may be due to your contrast change, you could very well have clipped the shadows)
- It's over sharpened. Once you start to introduce white artifacts in any area that's detailed/textured (ie. pavement) you've over sharpened IMO.
- The joint in the masonry wall does nothing for the picture. If you're really dead set on this shot, clone it out. It looks like it's growing out of the car.
- The white areas of paint/peeling add to the feel of the picture, but they're distracting. They detract from the main subject, the car. Clone them out or reduce their brightness/contrast/saturation/whatever.
Is that enough, or should I continue on?
