Default Pony on the road (Car)

Trying to "push" my editing a lil' further, does this shot look ott or too cartoonish ?


Any feedback is welcomed

Looks good to me. In the lower grill there appears to be a spotlight on one side only. Perhaps there's another in the dark on the other side? Looks a little asymmetrical. I think I would like the car a little brighter but that's just my personal opinion.
Nice pony.

Thanks for the reply. haha if your referring to the "silver thing" it's my bent up cold air intake tube. I really need to fix that .
I agree with the car needing to be a lil' brighter though, it seems to need a little more pop to me. thanks again.

Nice take of a good looking mustang! The only change I would make is to clone out the streetlamp in the middle.

Thanks stang0011
Hmm..yes , cloning out the street lamp would probably help the visual impact of the sky.It does seem to catch my eye now lol. thanks for your advice

I've looked at this pic a couple of times now and I feel like the car is pushed a little far off in the corner. The car is what I want to see here and it's only in less than 50% of the frame. The grassy bushes are nice, but IMO, aren't "heavy" enough to balance the car. I do like how the dark hillside contrasts with the roof and the lighting in general looks very nice (if a wee bit dark on the car).

Mean lookin' Mustang.

I think it's a bit over done for my tastes, the paint looks "chrome".

The grass in the foreground is rather distracting and the sky on the upper left is a bit off.

Over all the photo is unbalanced and I don't know what to focus on.

Grass and trees rarely make for good backgrounds.

Don't listen to Max!

I like the photo, but the grass on the left hand side is slightly distracting.

To be honest he's the one person I'd listen to over anyone else, he does shoot for car magazines after all.

So that's what he said, huh?

Funny how he says "DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!! But I completely AGREE WITH HIM!"

HHAHAHAHH!!! Hilarious.

Thanks Jungle.
