Jeep/mountain shots

Heres two of my recent pictures of my heep from up in the mountains.

The jeep is a bit dark, but it's still a nice picture. Both are really cool. Look the jeep in the second, but overall, i like the top one more.

so lighten the picture....

The 2nd image is nice; moreso than the first, as I prefer the look of having the Jeep larger in the frame. Have you tried getting the Jeep even larger in the frame by physically moving closer to it?

I think you need to clean your sensor.

I think these are both really good images but in need of some careful post work. Hopefully you shot RAW?

Hi. In the first one, the scene would look so much better without the vehicle. in the second, it looks like its about to fall off into the abyss. I think the front end would be more attractive than its rear. Look at ads for automotive pics for inspiration. I don't think these are quite 'there' yet.

Maybe its just from my offroading days... but I love the second one.

I agree with some careful post I think it could really be fantastic, like clone out the spots and maybe its a little dark.

Cool pics but you have dust on your sensor.

I think the 'poses' of the subject look too contrived (particularly in shot 2, and this is just my opinion). The jeep in the 2nd shot was driven with the front wheel up on a 3' tall rock. But it looks as if the driver could have gone a foot to the right and saved the trouble (although it looks like a nice spot to get underneath and change the oil). It makes it a little obvious that the jeep isn't actually going anywhere. In your other thread asking about processing, the position of the jeep looks much more believable, and I like that it has a driver. I do like the processing and scenery in both of these shots.

I totally agree with Hannya, I am not mad about the composition on the last one! I think it would have been a stronger image if the jeep was facing us on the right at an angle, the way its at is not very interesting except that it looks like its gonna go off the cliff!

cmh -
That is actually a very common 'pose' for Jeeps. Jeepers are always showing off the flex of their suspension as they have usually spent a lot of time and money rebuilding the suspension to allow for extreme wheel travel.
I agree the images are a little dark, and the sensor is dirty.
Overall, I prefer the top image. it seems as if the Jeep is more part of the scenery, rather than looking at it over the edge of a cliff.
