Default (HDR) Something seems wrong to me...

I dont know what it is about this shot that strikes as odd to me.. The colour of the car was faded and it was blunt cloudy light, well What do you think? Should I increase saturation?

It looks pretty accurate to me you could probably use a hair more saturation but I would watch it and not go overboard or your going to end up with a cartoon, unless of course that is what your trying to get. Was this a random car you saw on the street? I find the can in the background to be pretty distracting. What software did you use to tonemap this HDR file?

I would increase the saturation of the yellow color of the car a bit but wouldn't touch anything else saturation-wise.

I actually think the car looks fine as far as saturation. I think the greens need to be less saturated in the frame as they are taking away from the car itself, which is the focal point. Also, maybe even playing with a sepia background or possibly black and white background might yield a nice result. You did really good on this one!
