My WRX - Light painted

[Braineack]

I chose to use multiple flash bursts over constant light. This is an 11-exposure composite shot.

Not sure if being able to see the horns is a good thing. I think there are excessive details exposed that are more distracting than interesting.

Fascinating experiment and thanks for sharing (both the results and how you got them).

I like the overall result. There are a couple of small things that I think (of post-processed or tweaked) would enhance the final picture:
--While I like the star effect of the headlights, the lower front driver's side light just comes off as blurry. Not sure how to fix that but I'm sure it's a result of creating a composite.
--Foreground is lovely to me. Background seems to straddle an uneven choice--not quite completely dark so that burst of orange light in the center draws my eye, and not quite completely light enough. I think it needs to go in one direction or the other--either lighten up the background OR reduce the intensity of that setting sun coming through the trees.

Also, not sure but in looking at the composition, you got me wondering if it would work even better if you changed the angle you were shooting and so the sunset/sunrise was directly behind the car. Park the car to one side (so it's not directly in the road) and it puts the sunrise slightly off to one side...more of a visual triangle. Also, one question: what are what seem to be some kind of magical light blue berries on both sides of the car in the bushes?

Cool result and thanks for sharing.

I like it....my wife's got a wrx as well but it's an earlier model. This is just the muffler shot. I also made a composite out of this shot I'll have to post soon.

I'm confused... didn't you just post this image recently in a different thread?

Since they're magical, I thought only WE had them...damn! If you've got "em too, they must not be that magical. Okay, skip that part of the critique.
