Its nice but no point in giving advise when the camera took the picture for you. You can negotiate all you want but it won't take your advice. It will do what it wants on auto mode.

If you want advice on the PP its a bit too saturated for me.

Hey i like your picture! I would have liked to have seen a little more of the wheel,(the bottom section). I like the colours too.....frame ok, but im not a fan of watermarks. Always comes across as a bit pretentious on most pictures. I like your lettering though:).

Now I've looked at it again, i like it more :)

The fact a bit of the front wheel is cut of is fine, because a bit of the rear wheel is also cut off. So you've some odd symmetry which I like. But what makes the picture for me is the reflection of the other wheels.

This is why, we get a great full view of the reflected wheel, and also a narrow view of it. Just like how we see the front and rear wheels on the yellow car. So from front to back we have, big clear wheel, small unclear reflection of a wheel, big clear reflection of a wheel, small unclear wheel.

That works great and the diagonal line of the side of the car makes you look from front to back. Can be interpreted many ways with many possible meanings, all good things.

Leave your name on it Pablo, I'm a big fan of this picture now I've seen it twice :cool:

Assuming you wanted to show the "lines" of the car. I think a better frame would have been if you had the lens level with the car.

I like the combo of the blue-ish grey and yellow.

But I'm wondering why you want my eye to look at the rim of the car. Many of the best shots I've seen of Corvettes are slightly in front of the car, angled slightly up. I'm curious what you'd catch with that angle.

I don't really have too many comments on the composition itself as I'm not really into "car shots", but I would like to say that I think it's well exposed, the color and DOF look really good etc.. I know some folks seem to think that some how it's "cheating" to use Full Auto mode for taking pictures (and of course it's certainly cheating to use Photoshop to process your own images afterwards), but in my book you do whatever it takes to get the shot... To me "photography" isn't about playing with the buttons on the camera, it's about creating nice images and I think in that regards, you did a fine job here.

Peace,
Jim

Millenium Yellow C6. Looks good to me! I love "Car Shots" as they are much easier to work with :lol:...And although the image is looking good, possibly a series would have helped this image stand out, stand alone, or steal the show..... When driving around the neighborhood, look for interesting background or backdrops. The sides of a larg ebuilding can be useful depending on the color and structure. A wooded background, trees, mountain. Anything "green" without distractors. Ok - Lets see the C6!
