Both very nice but I love the 1st one!

Did you put another light source in the car in the 2nd one?

No; just an ND grad filter to keep the sky.

Very nice, I still think you are crunching the compression too much on all your images, unless it's deliberate to keep the higher quality stuff out of the public domain?

What's with the smoke/dust in the second one.

Photoshop quality level 5=overcompression. Fixed

Combine harvester was, er, harvesting in a field accross the road. Thing is it was actually much darker than it appears in the shot; exposed +2.5EV to get a noise free image - I didn't think the dust was that noticeable till I saw the shot. Another lesson learned

That is an incredible photograph. Great colours, nice composition, perfectly exposed. Great job

Nice shots but I think that both shots, especiialy the second, would have looked better with the windows down on the car.

Nice shots - first one is may favourite, I love the paintwork in the light. Great colour for showing off the shape too.

Matts got a point about the windows, and now he's said that the wind deflector is bugging me!

btw I posted some interior shots of my car on a different forum once and I'm sure it was Matt that said "Should have removed the tax disc from the windscreen" eagle eyed git. He was right of course! Whenever I look back at the shots I just see a tax disc

Trouble is, I quite often forget stuff like this on my own shots.

[bramley]

Good!
