Dubbed E30 325eye due to the headlight resembling a eye and the model of car being 325i

I'm not the worlds greatest auto nut, however, I feel rather short changed by the extreme crop.

there ya go.

I like it. Although it doesn't show off much of the car. It really shows you what you're supposed to be looking at.

The post processing is great --- I love how you cleared up the messiness of a graffiti background using a shallow depth of field and a b/w conversion.

Aesthetically, this photo is pretty sweet. But from a technical standpoint, taking a few steps back would've helped you out.

Thanks yeah I do agree but I only had a 50mm prime with me so my DOF would not have been as accentuated. Actually I should of shot landscape as opposed to potrait then I would of got same DOF but more of the car in. Thank you for your comment.

QUOTED IMAGE

Great capture. Don't think I would have really changed a thing. Would not step back, perhaps step a few inches to the right but it seems fine to me.

I like how it seems like the car is looking at you from the edge of the photo and the graffiti has been blurred out, truly excellent tone in this photo too.

I actually prefer this one because a) there is more car b) the graffiti looks more dramatic than in the other shot and c) the little tufts of grass somehow improve the picture.

Nice car btw.
