My car

[DannyOO]

I cleaned up my old car over the weekend and took it out to an old hangar near my house for some pics in the early morning, hoping for some good light. I took a handful of pics and this is one of only two that I keep going back to look at more.

My question is about general composition - I deliberately cut off some of the tire and an entire side of the car because I thought I liked it when composing the shot. But now that I look at it afterwards, I wonder if it works ok, or should there be more of the car in the frame (or maybe even less?) I also see that the tight crop shows too much detail of the building behind, it would have been a better background had the hangar not been converted to an RV storage building. I have another pic where I think the background works fine, but then the car seems to take second stage to the building.

Does this pic look fine, or should I try to reshoot it with a different background? More or less of the car in the frame?

Thanks!

I like the way youve cropped the car, very effective
I dont like the dark windows on the building they blend into the roofline of the car and spoil it.
overall agreat shot and a beautiful car.
