I know it's not the most interesting subject, being dirty and all, but it's all I have to practice on. Some things done in CS2 were USM, warming filter, hightlights and shadows, and a bit of diffuse glow. I would like to shoot more cars, but I still have some practicing to do. Any C&C would be great. Thanks in advance.

dont take it personally i usual dont get comments in like days sometimes not at all. In 21hrs your post would be in like the 2nd or 3rd page.

Location works but maybe try to get more fall colors in maybe same road where theres more trees and colors.

Composition and angle i like personally.Change your title maybe put the car in or find better cars to shoot, your in upsate ny so it shouldnt be a problem.

The compostion is not bad at all. You might want to move camera left just a bit, this will change the prespective of the car. You also might should have left more room at the top of the frame rather than at the bottom. Altough the car is the focal point of the photograph the sky is more interesting than the pavement. Good job on this and keep it up.

Thanks for the tips 24zero, I try to remember that next time. as for the PP is the warming filter I added to much, would it be better if I left the color more true to what it was before PP?

Me personally i dont like to use any PP well extremly minimal anyways, if you want a warming filter get one for the L or the kit lens. It will look a lot more "real"
