#73 Getting An Early Start

C&C? Does it work? Color or B&W?

My idea is maybe an ad for Ferrari titled:

"In a Hurry? No Problem"

color:




B&W:

Love the image, specially the color one. I don't think it's fair to a red ferrari to hide it's color. Now my only recommendation is some radial blur on the wheels. Somethin to show some motion. Just my 2 cents. :B

Yeah, I do like the color, but there's also something about the b&w that's appealing. I'll try the radial blur and see how it looks.

Definitely needs some sense of motion to fit the theme IMHO

Here's a quick radial blur...

I'm thinking that since if you say "Ferrari red" in a situation not talking about cars, people can still picture the color you're talking about, its almost essential to keep the color in it.
Also, in the reposted image, to me at least, the second I looked at it I didn't think "those wheels are spinning," I thought "those wheels look photoshopped." Do you have a driver you can trust to do a real burn out in that car and still get a close up photo of it? I think it would be sick if we could see some smoke coming off the tires (but I believe that car is RWD so that complicates the angle of the photo). And maybe in a different setting, since with the limited information, that looks like a tiled floor, like in a showroom. It would 'rush' more if it looked like it was on a road. Even if it's just in a closed parking lot, I think the look of actual asphalt underneath would help.
They might not be possibilities (hell, I don't even have the possibility of standing next to a Ferrari) but if you could get any of those aspects in the photo I think it would be a benefit.

Yeah...I agree. However, I don't think I have enough to put a security deposit down to take it out for a test drive.

I do agree about the photoshopped looked though. It was just a quick edit. I might be able to work it more. I was hoping that just seeing a Ferrari and the title would say "Rush!".

Beautiful car! And beautifully presented.
I'd place my vote for color as well. It MUST be red. . I also agree the 'spinning' wheels don't play in that environment.
Also, I get a bit distracted by the skylight cutting across the headlight.

I like the color as well, the red really pops and the PS on the wheels also look a tad too PS.... take it for a test drive and get your photo then, maybe with the red white and blues in the rear view.... then you can change it to.... 'What's the RUSH?'
