Although it was a dreary day, I went walking around with my new camera.
I came across this car...

It didn't take long to get bored and wonder off.
Then I heard a bunch of commotion from behind me.
I turned around and an Engine was backing up to the car...

Would the grey/overcast day have been the culprit?
I just have a UV filter for right now, and I wasn't using it.
Maybe a polarized filter might have helped?

or is popping done in photoshop??

You could try increasing the saturation and maybe playing with the tone-mapping a little to get more dramatic photos.

Yeah I know, they're generally done in bulk so to speak, when the cars are sitting in a yard somewhere. So manny hiding places they can spray all night and never get cought. The chances that that car and the ones I see sat in the same yard at some point in their lives is fairly good.
