Volvo V50 - My first post

[TeeZee]

Hi guys!

I took this picture of my mom's car a couple of weeks ago. I know it's kind of dirty, but i didn't get the time to wash it perfectly... :o

The equipment was a Canon EOS 350D (Digital Rebel) wit the 18-55mm kit lens. No external light sources, and ISO was 200 (i think).
I'm pretty pleased about how it came out, but i don't quite like the reflections on the side, i think they are a bit too strong. I should maybe have toned down the wall in the back a bit too, but i think it's okay.

C&C please! :)

1. I personally hate garage shots. Why not take it outside in the evening? A few Car Lighting Tips (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70290)
2. Why include the light growing out of the top?
3. I should maybe have toned down the wall in the back a bit too, but i think it's okay. It draws your eye away from the "point of interest", which seems to be the front fender & bumper. Better if the wheel was sharper?

4. But, having said all that...

I really like the composition, but the lighting is all wrong. Like PhotosGuy said, take it out in the evening. Try choosing a location that will give smooth, simple reflections. And try adding a CPL filter to limit reflections.
