I haven't presented this to my client yet but believe he will dig it.

Tell me what you think...

    Let me guess, a 55 Caddy, maybe a 56?

    Is it HDR?

    I really love it, of course I am somewhat prejudice as I was born and raised in Detroit and now live in Midland, Michigan.

    Always wanted a 1967 Corvette coupe.

    It's a little bit a this and a little bit of that
    It's a little bit a this and a little bit of that... I'm still perfecting the solution...
    It has been run through the wash a couple of times.
    As for the year?
    Thanks for your comments

    Whatever the solution if you could give some hints I would appreciate as I have neighbor with a 50 something Corvette and another with yellow a 1968 Z28 Camaro - both are in perfect shape and just dying to be photographed.

    I think it's WAY too much processing for a car that's already beautiful. I would dial it back.

    The processing is
    I agree it is a beautiful car... but it is the processing the sets it apart
    from just another car photo... or so I think...
    It's a little bit real, a little bit animated.

    I really dig your feedback and appreciate your taking the time to write.

    The owner of the Caddy probably has many straight shots of his car. I think he'll appreciate the approach you've taken here. While I'm not generally a fan of this kind of PP, I think it works well here. Well done.thumb.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I like it. The lens flare spot lower right is distracting. I would also try to lose the reflections of the parking lot down the side of the car. Overall picture says "surreal" or "vintage dream" and then you notice the reflections of the cars and it says "Walmart" parking lot. Would be very cool if the reflection was an In n Out Burger or vintage drive in though. thumb.gif

    run back to Walmart or In & Out Burger
    I'm not sure what to do next... run back to Walmart or blast over to In & Out Burgerwings.gif

    Your message made my day... thumb.gif
    <br>This was not a planned shoot but was a Kidnapping
    and my attempt of making a silk-purse out of a sows-ear.
    <br>If you think the reflections, background and riffraff are bad now
    you should have seen it when I started... Yikes!
    <br> but i got a new client out of it...woohoo, I winclap.gif

    Thanks for your comment
