Love the picture, some people might not like the reflections but to me, it works with the picture.

I wouldnt mind the car being in the center of the road but who knows that might not look better.

Great shot

Might be the post processing or just me but this looks photoshopped. I'm not saying the car is 'chopped in but it sure has the effect. Anyone else?

looks heavily processed, but I think it's one of those rare cases where it works...I like it :) way to make the most of the few weeks of fall colours!

Thanks folks! I agree I may have went a bit overboard in LR. Here is the original for comparison. I tilted the shot a bit in cropping, added some gradients for some vignetting, and brushed in some sharpness, clarity, and saturation on the car. I also boosted overall contrast and bumped up the WB slider a bit to warm things up.

and fixed the paint chips ;) I think the original is pretty dang good! I would have done a very light PP on it, and that's it :)

Thanks for the input folks! Next time, I will resist the urge to abuse lightroom. :lol:
