Too dark. Not a very good location
Nice car though.

What car? Looks more like a house shoot.

The car has to be the pr4imary in=mage element to call it a car shoot.

In this photo, the car is a quartenary (4th) image element at best.

you also lit up the ground nicely, but not the car.

Brutal crowd.

Brutal crowd.

Do you want to improve?

**OR**

Do you want a hug?


I don't give hugs very well...
70% of the people on the forum give hugs.
30% of the people on the forum DO NOT give hugs.

Which group of people do you want commenting on your posts?
In my opinion, the answer is clear.

I can barely tell what kind of car that is.

Nice house though.

Go in closer to the car, shoot at a lower angle, and make the house your background.

It's funny man, `this looks like a lot of shots you see for show coverage/automotive photography but its not exactly "proper". This forum seems to want it by the books or its not worth taking. I kinda dig the shot, check out v2lab.com for some really nice automotive photography for some inspiration.

Love the concrete.

The lighting is very dramatic, but the photo and the lighting will not be about the car to most viewers of the photo.
