Cool car but it's not level (purposefully ?) and it kind of blends with background. I would try to introduce some contrast between car and background, perhaps ?

I agree with Amamba. The lights above the car take the attention away from the car


cheers, Paul

I'd crop some of the upper portion.

First, just a reminder that in the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES only allow a maximum of 1024 pixels on any side.

2nd, it's an OK shot, but I suspect that it would look better in color. And some of the best "night shots" I've seen were taken before it's totally dark while there's still some light left in the sky to put some highlights in the body to show it's shape. Like these: Pre-Dream Cruise Warm-Up at Duggans
