another sunset pic

Here's another pic that I worked on. Some of you said the car came out too bright in my editing in the last pic I posted up, hopefully this is a little better...

80,000+ members = 79,999+ opinions?
I'd have posted this in the original thread for comparison?
My opinion: Sky has too much contrast &, in comparison, makes the car look darker.
Car hood/windshield is WAY blown. A little bit doesn't hurt, though.
The side could use a bit more contrast.
Rear wheel could be lighter.

Did I give you this link already? Blended exposures will give better results.

Oh, I dont mean it as the opinions were a bad thing. I've barely started shooting a lot last fall, so I'm still completely new at this, and I think peoples opinions and critiques are a good thing for me. And thanks for the comments, its exactly what I would be looking for.
