BMW. Trying to get better at PP

Trying to improve my PP'ing. Took this at a carshow this month.


Before:

Nit #1: You (almost) cloned out the light, but left the access plate in the pavement in front of the car?
Nit #2: Part of the PP process is cropping to improve the framing. What's in the right side of that image that you thought was important to keep?

Thanks for the tips. It's more of a work in progress. The work thus far is still open on my computer at home. I liked the sky on the right, but you are right about the extra stuff not helping the photo one bit. I do miss the wideness of the original though. I wish I could get rid of the stroller. This is always a very busy event with people constantly walking around.

Sorry, but this crop does not work. It's a strain on the eyes as it is very unnatural.

It all depends on personal preference's.
I like the After foto!

1) Color & brightness is on point, not to much needed any how. (simple touch up)

2) Like the wide view of it with the sky to the right.

3) I would try to Clone out the parts I added the yellow arrows.

This is what I would have done.
But over all, image is great!

I agree with leaving the crop as it is, I like how the car is angled so that after you look at the car, your eye leads across to the sky. Shame about the people though, its always the same at car shows.

Yes. This show is really packed. It's called Friday Fest. So it's more than a car show. Getting a shot without a person in it is impossible. If I can get there earlier when it's the setup time for the cars, I should be able to get shots without people in them.
