Boxter In The Sun

I caught this Porsche bathed in brilliant light today

Nice shot! But it reminds me of my early pinball days of helplessly watching the silver ball pass by the immovable paddles, while bright, flashing letters and obnoxious noises screamed, "TILT!"

Nice clarity and exposure. I'd like to see the top of the door facing/trim and the manhole cover is somewhat distracting. Too bad about that shadow on the right. I like some spacing between the edge and the graffiti. Cloning out the shadow would be the best way to go I think but the left side could use a trim. The fact that there are practically no shadows from the car really makes this work.

I'm a bit thrown off by the slight tilt of the image as FrankenPengie is alluding to as well. I'm curious, have you softened this image at all? It looks like it has some sort of dreamy soft focus to it, that while it can be nice, doesn't really seem to fit the kind of nitty-gritty setting the car is in.
I do like it though, the car looks great, and you can't argue with a hard top.

Yes I did soften it with Photoshop Diffuse Glow - I use it a lot but not real heavy. I usually fade it down quite a bit. The shot was way to stark out of the camera. Thanks both for commenting. Also I agree with the crookedness.

I like the Shot And I wonder what the Boxter is doing there^^
I can only agree with what was already said, some cropping on the left would be good..

i agree, it's a great shot but the horizontal lines are somewhat askew

When I first saw this, I also thought you had done an Orton or diffuse glow.

I won't repeat what has been said above re the lighting, which is very nice -- but I will ask you please to post the original here, for comparison.

The lighting is great. I wouldve photographed the back end of the car with the graffiti on the wall in the background, showing some kind of juxtaposition.
