Jay's Porsche under a bridge

Same as before, but slightly different. Feedback appreciated.

Besides the bridge, the brightest thing in the photo is the mud underneath the car. It's a little distracting.

I liked the one with your Focus better...but I'm wondering if the white car just contrasts the night scene better for me.

I tried messing around with that quite a bit, actually, and this was the best result. Without the lit mud, the car has nothing to sit on, unfortunately, and it just looks wrong. Yeah, I admit it's a bit distracting.

I'm not sure what your vision is or how this set-up even works because it's way beyond my skills regardless, but have you thought about throwing some speed lights (maybe gelled?) underneath the bridge? I think that might be a cool look and help ground the dark car in the dark space. But I realize I'm probably naive in how this all works, haha.

Actually, I did try to get the back pillars with a strobe. There was a small lake between me and them, so that was the best I could manage, unfortunately.
