From one newbie to another, just my opinion. The blue detracts from a very neat background. It would have been nice with a black, grey, or silver car. It might make a great B&W conversion. Nice job though.

great picture. the only thing that would have been nice is if the car would have been super clean or super dirty.

Are you saying that the blue car steals the focus from the background? The background isn't the subject. As the viewer our eyes are immediately drawn to the car which I'm sure is what was intended.

I'm just saying the colors seem to clash. Yes, the eye is drawn to the car, but frankly, I find the rest of the picture to be more attractive. Perhaps a little desat on the car? Would be nicer if it were a different color car, or the same car with a different background.

JMO YMMV :)

Gee. It's just one person's opinion. It appears you have a winner according to everyone else, so why worry about it? Just stating an opinion.

I like the blue color and the first shot. The second one just seems to have too many reflections.

I agree the car needs to be cleaned or dirtied up.. but the building shot is excellent. the backdrop is amazingly interesting. might due for future work ..
