Moody! I think it's a little dark, or is that what you were going for?
I would have used the light from the sky to light the side: Some shots of Jim's '68 AMX (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=393917)

Oh, & turn the front wheel the other way.

It didn't look too dark last night, but it definitely does now.

How would I use the sky light on this side of the car, reflector? About the wheel, well, I'm not 100% confident in my e-brake, and I didn't want it to end up in the drink haha.

Thanks :)

I think you should have turned the wheel the oppostite direction(bring a brick to block the tires next time), and shoot earlier in the evening. Not much though. Looks good though.

Yeah I didn't think to bring anything to block it and I couldn't find anything there. As far as shooting earlier, I was after a sunset pic.

Here's the fullsizem, which needs a bit more work in Photoshop: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g306/ibratboy/Album%20II/IMG_1726.jpg

a reflector would do a bit, if you have a strobe that would help. I don't think moving the car would work for you in this situation as i'm sure the point of your shot was the sunset's reflection in the water. If your ever with people and in the similar situation you can always use their car lights too if possible. Backing up and moving in will help with the exposure of them.

when you exposed up for the car, you lost some of the deep colour in the reflection. Maybe try burring it, or selecting in and add some gamma. Nice shot though.

Actually there really wasn't much for deep colors, the sunset was very yellow. Thanks :)
