555 A/G

Here's a couple from the re-shoot I did of the 41 Willy's Gasser. I'm not very happy with the pics. It was super overcast and I had no extra lighting, not even my cheap external flash with me. ( Sun was out when I left to go to the shoot so I only took my camera, lenses, and tripod. ) I have several more I am sorting through waiting for post processing. I hope I can save some more of them. Please C&C is welcomed, and needed. Would love to know if there is anything I can do to make these look better. These were best of the lot so far.

Nice shots. Cool car.

Great exposure, and cool car never seen it before.

The WB isn't consistent in these... some green & some magenta. And later light would have been more dramatic. This was shot in a parking lot just after sunset: http://img.photobucket​.com …rtQtr_25.jpg?t=​1284475022

I think the WB difference may be from desaturating the background in a layer mask. I can easily bring it back up. I pulled it down because I felt it pulled your eyes away from the car. Do you think I went to far? Or should I do a color balance and tone down the greens and magentas?

A layer mask desaturating the background shouldn't have any effect on the colors in the body. I'm seeing some magenta in #1 & 3, & green in the body of the others. (Not counting the windows.)

OH! Your seeing the WB difference in the body of the car! I feel like an idiot now. I was concentrating on the background because that's what was bothering me the most with these photos. I'll check the files again, for the color balance on the car body. There are several layer mask in the body including a color mixer mask. I probably made my mistake there. Thanks PG.
