very nice image...I like the hotspot and the blown out whites as well (at least on my non color corrected monitor)..very dramatic.

nitpic...is there a was to clone out the fence in the background (especially to the rear of the car) they distract the eye

Hmm, I'm the opposite of Robbierob, I don't enjoy the blown out factor nor the hotspots. Definitely way too much contrast for my taste.

I like it. It's different. Timeless, even. Not your every day car shot. I do think theres too much open space on top of the car... but cropped may be worse. Nice work, nonetheless.

Thanks all

I considered cloning out the fence but didn't, so I'll give it another go. I'll try and do something about that hotspot too.

Reminds me of the look and feel that the beginning to Casino Royale had.

The type of car fits that style too.

Alright, here's version 2.0

Got rid of that fence, cloned out a few reflections, burned the hotspot a little and the headlights also, and cloned out the tag hanging from the mirror.

That looks alot better actually. There is a reflection of a rim of a minivan or something behind the rear wheelwell though that is somewhat distracting.
