Red Mustang

[Sterling]

I'm curious if you feel this photo has "impact" and what could be changed to increase it. Also, I debated whether to shoot the lit side rather than the shaded side but I decided to get the reflections rather than have a mass of saturated red. As always, any constructive criticism is welcomed.

I'm no pro and far from it. I really like this shot. The only two things I would do is to crop it alittle and the white light ( Looks a little like a n just above the roof of the car ) its abit distracing for me. But like I say I'm no pro

Yes, I also find the glare on the door above the car distracting. I don't like the uneven reflection of the building on the shaded side of the car either. If you threw up a large white sheet on that side, it would help you in two ways. It would even out the reflection like the even white on the hood (which looks good). And it would serve as a reflector to shine some light on the shadowed side of the car.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a bit closer and slightly lower view.

You have the sun on the wrong side of the car, needs a fill flash. and #2, the car is too close to the background.

Not a bad overall... 6 out of 10.

I certainly does not need a fill flash. If you know anything about lighting specular objects, you would know that.

The focal length distorts the car a bit,and the background is a bit distracting as it is brighter in areas than the car. Also the right side of the car is underexposed.

Not sure I like the lens blur but I do like your other changes. Thanks for the suggestions.
