Couple old cars

Deleted

Overall I like the image. The reflections in the black car don't match the setting though. It also looks a bit transparent on the roof and right front fender of the black car. Easy for me to sit back and comment like this, but I still wish I would be able to produce something this good.

Thanks for pointing those out to me . I knew the reflection problem but i didn't realize the hood edge and now i've found the front right tireand car top at rear is also the same way . I just failed to catch the hood, tire and top . Not really much i could do about the reflections , Thanks again .

Actually, I would try to reshoot that but, instead of worrying about the newer car reflected in the older one, I'd run with it. I'd try to get the entire newer car in the reflection. I think that would look pretty cool...

Problem is I took that back in 2010 in Colorado . No chance of a reshoot .

Methinks a closer crop on the black car would make a way better image.

I really like the background in this image. The buildings and trees are actually my favorite parts of the image.

I don't love the heavy use of clarity on the red car though - the metal looks like it has taken a beating and is all bent up.

My main suggestion is to do just a little more cleanup on the image. For instance, I don't like seeing that folding chair in the reflection - I would clone that out.

Thanks Ted and David for your inputs . I do wish the black car was elsewhere instead of at a car show . Car shows make it hard to get good images without other objects or people interfering . This is the original image of the black car :

The original BG with the red car has not been posted yet because it had such an empty space in the parkinglot where the black car is sitting now . Perhaps someday when i have more time i'll rework both images and repost .
