Hello all, I played around with this photo today.

This is HDR from single RAW file, done in Photomatix, opened in CS4 and burned the sky/dodged the car, cropped the right side of the photo..

Any suggestions on composition or anything? I didn't want to have it center positioned so I cropped it...

It is really nice, with an intimidating color scheme, nicely done. Also your decision to put it offset to the right was well done, I would put the car either lower of higher in the shot to get it to intersect with the Rule of Thirds ... however sometimes you have to divert from the rules ...

It is nice, only thing I would really change is the license plate, either remove it before the shot or get rid of it in pp.

I like it except for the poles growing out of the top.

+1 you need to clone those light poles ASAP. Besides that the mood of the picture is nice, very well put image.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I cloned out the poles and blurred the license plate..I like it better without the poles.

I have another one but I don't really like it..

nice without the poles.

but i think you brought even MORE attention to the license plate by blurring it out.

i think you should remove it all together.
