Nice work, great shots

3 and 4 would have been better shot on the sunny side.

2 is way too bottom heavy with too much sky.

thanks guys for your comments, yeah i know a lot of shots would have benefit from more sun, 2 has too much sky? i thought that was one of my favourite shots.
The shots all look so much better full size. Especially the first one

Nice pics! I bet that was fun to drive! Where do rent exotic vehicles like that? how much (if you don't mind sharing

)

Very nice pics of a nice looking car -- especially the last one. Good memories too

2edit: not that much sky but its way too bottom heavy IMO (for me... i'm a middle/top heavy guy)

Good ones.

Generally, I disagree.

I think these would benefit from having some decent light on them rather than mostly in the shadows
recently I listened to a local radio show over here in the UK and they were duscussing the merits of this car

the overall consensus was that they look great but are as uncomfortable as hell and not very practical for everyday use

I think they are fine. If i was to change anything, i'd mask off the foreground and make it a bit warmer, as the shade made it cool, and maybe clone out some of the branches going over the horizon.

its a fantastic car. pure sports car without the useless (and heavy) accessories!

first one is the one i like most!
no interior photos?

DonJuanMair · 22nd of January 2008 (Tue)

thanks everyone for your comments, i think the lighting is okay now, im happy with it. The first one is my favourite.
Here is the shot straight out of the camera

and here is the shot after i have played with it a bit on photoshop

so i tried my best to make the color pop

the car was a pain to get in and out of, once you are in it though its amazing

Looks 100% better, very nice shots
