Mini Cooper S shots (C&C is Welcome)

[inaka]

Finally got around to taking some shots of my car.
I did a bit of HDR processing and post tweaking to these to give them this look.

Liked them all; but don't blame me i can hardly lock my attention on the car; i am happily distracted by the surroundings

So they are true HDR or aren't? I think a situation like this begs to be done in HDR!

i like the shots. only really bother for me is the rays coming off the light scource above just kind of get in the way of the picture a bit for me.

Thanks for the comments, all. I appreciate them.

"True HDR"? Yes, HDR processing was used with Photomatix, then some more tweaking in Aperture. Cheers.

True HDR as in they are done with 3+ exposures and not just simulated. The software I use to process HDR's also has a simulated HDR mode. I was just making sure these pictures weren't the simulated kind.
They look good.

Ahh....Yes, they were setup with 9-shots/exposures, -1/+1 each exposure. Then merged with Photomatix, etc.
I've never used a simulated mode.
