This is my first attempt at a photo of a car. What do you think?

I added a blur to the building in ps. Should I have left it alone?

Suzy, I think you did a nice job. No bad reflections. Not the best time of day to shoot but I think you pulled it off ok. The tires are a little lost but you can add a layer mask and bring them back if you want to.

I think the blur is ok, a different, more interesting background would be great!

on a side note... if you are looking for another 73 chevelle to restore, let me know, I have one sitting here, waiting for someone with the time/money to restore it.

Good catch. Most people forget that the first time. Nice blur of the building & the location doesn't take attention away from the car. Watch the reflections in the side next time.

I like that you used backlight when the sun is high, but would rather see it shot in the "late light".

Thanks for the advice. Next time I will definitely wait until later in the day.

You're right. I totally missed that, thanks!

I think one "project car" is enough...my husband would probably have a different opinion. ;) In any case, I'm sure he would love to see pictures!
