Shot this just as it started to rain. I know its probably too dark, but I like it like that.

I agree, and I think it would be better to shoot the car from an angle.

Can barley see the car. Strange. I can see the car on my screen with no problems. I did one shot from an angle, but with this shot I wanted it head on to make the parking light visible. I guess to each his own. I thank you guys for your c+c though.

I added the other pic, to show how it looked with a little more light, but I still like the darker one for some reason.

That sky is awesome in the second pic.

maybe next time you should lower the ISO speed!

The second pic would be a keeper for me!

What iso were you on for the first one? too high.

Fade2: Typing in CAPs or bold is really irritating!
I know its probably too dark, but I like it like that. #1: I like the mood, but would like to see the sky darker on the horizon & the front of the car a little lighter, or at least change the blue chrome to light gray. A selection & a Layer Mask will work well for that.
PS, see post #9; PS Elements in Post # 14
A question about sky (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=338140) and the Airport runway shoot link in my post with reference to Adjustment layer basics

Somewhere along the way you lost the nice highlights we should be able to see like in the hood in 2nd shot. I think it would help a lot if you retained them.

#2 looks much better, but I'd like to see a tighter crop.
