Lexus quick shot, c+c

[MidnightGrimm]

I know you guys can be pretty brutal, have at... I took this one quite some time ago, when I was first getting into photog. I know that the rims are a bit oof, and I got a bad glare from a long exposure. Just curious about other photog's opinion.

The whole thing if a bit OOF I think...

Also, it looks really funky with no door handles, door lines (where they open,) emblems, body lines...etc.

Photoshop? Or does the car actually look like that?

EXIF:
5 mm
f2.8
4 second exposure

Looks really cool not sure about the light though.

lyonsroar, The guy who owns the car wanted some ideas for massive/extensive body modification. I shaved it all with PS, and he has gone onto shaving the door handles, reflectors in the bumper, and front/rear bumper lines. I know it's all a bit oof, was having issues with my camera, getting it to focus on the freshly waxed car. even using canon's "manual focus". LOL. More looking at composition/colour. Not a pic I would publish in a magazine by far! Haha!

OK then.

The light behind the car is shining too brightly causing a big hotspot on the rear quarterpanel/ bumper area.

The light that is sort of a secondary subject, above right, doesn't add anything to the photo. In fact, it distracts from the car, which is the intended subject. I would close up the aperture and maybe try to get a starburst like effect with that light. I don't know if it'll work, but I'd try it.

The Christmas light above-right are just plain annoying and show maybe some camera movement or C/A.
