Smile Ford Mustang

Mustang - scale model

This is a small scale model of a Ford Mustang. Got the bright reflections on it by placing it in front of a computer screen with a white page open and a small table lamp to fill in the rest. Emphasized the blue color and added a bit of contrast in post.
Would love to hear what you guys think of it or what couldve been done better. Be it about composition or color or post processing or whatever else u can think of.
Thanks!

Details:
Aperture: f/5.0
Exposure time: 0.300 (1/3)
Flash: Off
Camera : Canon EOS 1000D

Hi,

good photo.


There is a dot right above the hood, it distracts me from the rest of the photo. other than that, great photo!

I agree it is a great shot but that dot just holds your attention.

Yes, the green dot is distraction and if you are going to process it, then you could remove the left side dots as well.
Overall good job

i agree, the dot is distracting. you should either remove it or there should be more of them, one or the other. i like the feel of this pic, great mood and there is the hint of a story behind it. another problem i have is the sharpness of the leading edge of the car. thats the business end in this case and it should be sharp. nice pic,lets see more
