My baby

Been trying to get the hang of my new camera so I decided to take a picture of my car. C&C welcome. I know my photoshot skills suck.:o

Great pic, love the burried background. Is that on a sheet of ice that your on?

Thanks. Yep its a parking lot for a sports complex. Most of the lot was covered by ice.

If the background is blurred in PS (which looks like it), it is overdone in my opinion. Do you have the original image? I like the shot itself (very sharp and great lighting), but I'm not fond of the uber-blurred background.

Nice! I'd crop it right down to the top of the trees & clone out the poles.

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I tried to take what you told me and give it another shot. I like the way it came out this time.

That's much better. A much more striking image. The background doesn't detract from the car. Good balance and exposure.

Excellent! At first I thought you should have straightened the wheels out, but with the car angled slightly to the left, the wheels add a dynamic to the shot.
The only thing I would add is some PP to put some detail into the headlights.

Should have said "My baby...on ice"

I like the second better myself as well.
