Not bad, but you've lost alot of detail in the front bumber due to underexposure. And I'm not a fan of the bush sticking out over the hood of the car. This would have made a good HDR, imo. I'm gonna do a quick edit just for fun.

EDIT:
Here's my very quick, rough edit. Could have done alot better if I wanted to take another 10 minutes to worry about better cloning. I also could have run both the car and background through tonemapping seperately (already had them seperated for the cloning) and gotten some cool results. It's not a bad photo the way you have it posted, I wouldn't have wasted time editing it if it was. The bush was just really making me mad so I did something about it. lol

thanks for the feedback! I hadn't noticed it before, but I think it looks better without the bush! thanks:thumbup:

I like Destin's rendition - emphasizes the importance of "checking the background" before you click the shutter button. You might have been able to bring out the detail in the front of the car using some fill flash. It might be worth experimenting a bit. Alternatively, if this is a raw shot, then a you might be able to use the adjustment brush with a light touch, moderate size, wide feather and a low flow to bring out some of the detail in the front of the car. I can't tell you what the exact setting should be, but you could experiment with Lightroom using a virtual copy or two to try different affects of the front of the car. My 0.02¢ FWIW.

Cheers,

It is a powerful shot but the front is a bit dark indeed. Great shot though. (And it is indeed better without the bush)

Ooooh 911

Nice shot. I'm with the others though, you need some detail in the front bumper. Maybe a low power speedlite?

I would also get rid of the white lines.

Love the angle and the setting but would like to see more detail on the front of the car. Otherwise great shot!

Lightroom3.6 and Photoshop are a match made in heaven!

I'm not a big fan of the parking lines... The tree didn't bother me as much but it does look better without it.

Destin's reworked picture took care of your basic errors. If that's your car, then you're certainly the big winner here. At 64 I'm still dreaming about owning a Porsche.

Now all you have to do is learn how to use ACR (Lightroom) effectively.

The greenhouse of the car seems 'muddy'.

What do you mean the greenhouse seems muddy?

Great shot! Kind of hard to not take photos of that car. I like the composition, and agree with the others that without the bush and painted lines, you couldn't help but be drawn to the subject of this photo.

Thats an awesome car and a really nice edit. Im a new user to LR and PS...and i was just wondering if you could post up what you did to it in the edit? Im sure its a pretty standard and quick thing you did but I'm still learning.
Thanks.
