Default B&W Cadillac STS-V

I'm curious if the symmetry of the background works here. Also, upon close inspection, I notice a bit of distortion in the upper corners of the brick wall (the upper courses of bricks appear to curve up at the ends). Do you feel that's worth repairing? What about the reflection of the tree on the side glass? Worth trying to remove or OK as is? As always, any constructive criticism is appreciated.

Very crisp! I like that it's b/w also! It'd be a good shot for advertising that car.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the background because something seems off as it does to you. Everything seems too centered, hence it doesn't create much of a dynamic. What if you crop out the 2 top windows? Do you think that would help? Cover them with a piece of paper right now and see if you like it more.. I like the reflection, so I would leave that.

Now THAT is a photo I wish I took!!!! Don't know anyone with a Caddy, though...... I do think that the reflection in the window would be worth removing. If it's not too much trouble, if so, just leave it.
