I like :)

don't like how you cut off the front though.

I agree with both those guys ^^^^^

But, I really like the effect overall....is it just two layers (one open, one closed)?

I can think of so many uses for that, and as someone relatively new to twiddling with layers, thanks for the inspiration.
:D

It is two photos one with the bonnet open and one closed. Added in PS (or other proggy) as two layers and overlay is transparent and a vector mask to get rid of what you dont want. plenty of tutorials here.

was the first one done in photoshop or a technique using flash?

It looks OK as a motor shot. The paint looks awfully flat & I miss seeing highlights in the body.

As the others said two shots both light painted outside with about a 30 second to minute exposure. Took one with hood up, and one with hood closed.

Layer the shots and then erase from there.

I agree Frank the nose of the car looked flat to me as well. I was using a soft box on some other shots that seemed to help it a bit but I just wasn't all that happy with the over all shot so I just used it as a chance to show off the motor which I like.

Thanks guys,

I'll try that when I get a chance, should look nice.
