5.) Tried an HDR since the sun & my flashes + a black car weren't cooperating for me...
First round of processing for this shot:

The locations are great, but:

#1 needs more motion blur and the car is far.

#2 is a nice shot, although a bit dark in the front. I would have cropped the car in the backround and the car you are in.

#3 Good shot, until you see the blue car reflecting in the driver door.

#4 is good, but also has bad reflections on the side body.

#5 does not work for me at all. Car reflecting on the doors, the car is gray, wheels are pale too.

Just my opinions...keep it up though. :)

#1 - I have a ton from that section of freeway, wanted to do something other than the traditional. Agree there isn't that much motion being displayed.

#2 - was torn between cropping out my car or not. The cab in the background added something to it. I am going to try some cloning to remove my car and see how it goes.

#3 & 4 - i realized that too, I was trying some different things using my headlights and such to try and lighten up that side of the car. Should have changed the angle I had my car, for sure..


#5 - Once I get a chance to reprocess some of the contributing images, I plan on re-creating the HDR and see if I can fix some of those issues.

Thanks everybody!

Thanks! I think I may need to get motivated to re-cropping or cloning on that tunnel shot and see how improved it becomes.
