Shot this Vette in a parking lot cruise night with my trusty Canon G2...subsequently, the owner's wife hired me to do a few enlargements. Here are the before and after shots

Before...

...and after

Thought a larger picture would work better

I like it, good job and congrats on selling some enlargements of it.

Thank you. The enlargements are a birthday present for her husband.

Vinnie, this reminds me to charge up my battery for my tiny little Sony P&S and keep it in my purse! I miss so many shots just because I don't have a camera on me.

Gorgeous car - I'm sure this guy will be thrilled with your work! I'm not so good at the car thing, LOL...maybe I should have you come shoot David's Ferrari for me to give him as a gift!

....and the G2 is only a 4 megapixel camera, but I still can squeak an 11 x 14 from it...great little camera. I don't even bother to take either of the big cameras with me to these cruise nights. However, I now may want to try the 11-16mm Tokina on some of these car shot opportunities

My 2c:

Keep the front on the edge, because it blatantly was and it looks retarded.

Instead of having it just black, make the black fade to the ground, like I did in this picture:

It will give it a more legit look, and not like you just pen tooled around it and made the background black.
