I am kInd of scared to post this. I was at and autocross event a few weeks ago and just messing around and took this picture.

what do you think?

That is one sexy rear windsheild wiper man!!!

The side mirror blocking the other car ruins it.

I'll start with a positive. Good use of DOF.

And I'll end with the 'need's work' parts. Your white balance is off, and your composure is confusing. I automatically look at the big blurry guy in the background, and not the car.

Here is another positive remark. As for your subject, at least what we see of it is clean!

Parked behind the bleachers would have made it interesting if you could have thrown the bleachers out of focus and the entire car was in focus.

Shoot well and thanks for sharing, Joe

I disagree, I actually like it quite a bit. Only thing that could be better, as mentioned before, is to not have the car blocked by the mirror next time. I like the use of DOF and I think the people standing around give it a story, as in, you can tell this was at a car meet or track day of some kind, without you telling us :thumbup:

is that a stealth?

 

[christian.rudman]

what other dodge looks like that from the rear? and I agree on the out of focus car and the exposure. good attempt though!

Nice photo, but as Christopher noted the WB needs correction:

WB looks off in mine. It may be a bit. It was a very overcast grey day.

WB is still off in your edit. The car in mine is the correct color. The car in your edit is too dark and has a red tinge.

WB in your original is way off blue/cyan. I nailed the WB in my edit regardless of the color of the car. What I did was adjust the photo until neutrals in the photo were neutral. Looks like this is a camera processed JPEG so if colors (especially high chroma colors) are otherwise off then the likely culprit is the camera image processor. I of course have no idea what color the car really is so I can't help there. But you can sample the photo for neutrals and check the RGB values. This photo has plenty of what should be color neutral material. I've marked 6 sample points:

Here are the sample values:

My edit:

1. R = 236 G = 235 B = 233
2. R = 243 G = 240 B = 243
3. R = 183 G = 180 B = 183
4. R = 113 G = 113 B = 112
5. R = 111 G = 111 B = 110
6. R = 81 G = 79 B = 80

Original:

1. R = 215 G = 237 B = 243
2. R = 222 G = 239 B = 251
3. R = 157 G = 184 B = 199
4. R = 110 G = 139 B = 153
5. R = 67 G = 92 B = 107
6. R = 67 G = 89 B = 106

Take Care,
Joe

Composure = Composition + Exposure?

Sorry about the nitpick, composure isn't a word usually associated with photography.

Definition of Composure : a calmness or repose especially of mind, bearing, or appearance

what do you think?

So that's what the back end of a dodge looks like. I am used to seeing the front end of the dodges in my pontiacs rear view mirror.

While I appreciate what you are saying, to me its more important that the focus of the image be the correct color. Yes the background images has a definite blue tint, the car(its mine) is the right color. Having that be correct IMO is more important. (this does not mean a separate color correction on the background is not warranted.)
