Default What do you think

Just a random shot of my friends car at the car wash.

I am not use to shooting with a prime, so excuse the Composition.
I actually like it, and i have this thing about angles people keep telling me about.

Shot specs:
Canon 40D w/ 50mm lens
3200 f/1.8 ISO:400

I could of shot at ISO 100, but it was on auto. I am not use to shooting with a Prime lens. LOL, i have to move back and forth instead of a lengths adjustment on the lens. (First time shooting with the Nifty)



Post Processing:
Camera raw adjustments - Exposure, Fill, Clarity, Curves adjustment, Lens Vignetting
Cloned out crap that was on the ground, and some of the yellow reflections on the car

CC appreciated.

Nice Shot, I like the angle you used. It's very appealing.

Really nice shot...just want to share a cool idea to jagg up this type of shot..Zoom in during the shutter open... It works best under 1/100 speed so set the appreture accordingly to meet exposuture..Then when the shutter open zoom in.. It gives a effect that make it look like a mad car running down a slop..
Try this on the next time..

I like the angle but the shot seems to lack the shine it begs to deliver. I like my cars to glow. This seems a little dull. Some brightness and contrast would give this a little pop. I do applaud you on the subtle approach to post processing. The vignette is quite appropriate. This just looks like it was taken in Seattle just before it started to rain.
