Default How can I make this better

HDR from one RAW (Because it was moving). What would make it better?

Some people don't like the really high contrast HDR images, so you can try going a bit easier on the dials. I don't mind the high contrasty too much.

Maybe try desaturating the people in the back a little so they won't gather as much attentions.

the people in the background are distracting, as for the high contrast HDR it kind of works. Seems that Topaz adjust may have been used as well in the processing ?

Thanks for the suggestions.
The reason I didn't have a choice with the people in the background was because the car was moving. And I really have no idea how to remove them since I am no good at Photoshop, LOL.
I don't know what topaz adjust is. I just kep tweaking the colors til I got what looked good :-)
I may look in desaturation,
Thanks everyone!
Dave

Maybe if you drained SOME of the saturation from the car and ALL of the saturation from the people in the background. Otherwise great photo!
