    Car In Parking Garage

    I recently got back from a trip to Biloxi Mississippi, and while there, i stopped by a couple beach casinos
    I got a couple shots that turned out alright and i decided to see what i else i could do with them in CS3. Im going for the SuperStreet Magazine styles.. or just anything you'd see in a Performance Car Magazine (as far as foreign whips go)
    Here is 1 of 5

    Black and white would maybe work better--color adds nothing. It's all green. Interesting composition, but the color distracts me.

    Re: Car In Parking Garage

    I dont mind the color, though I would like to see it with a bit more accurate white balance - though the green color cast has its own cool look to it. I like the yellow lines that lead up to the 'Integra'. I only wish it was maybe a front side view of the car instead of a back, and that the car wasn't cut off on the right... Was this your car?

    Also - if this was a crop, I would recrop it and make the background level, not the ramp that the car is on but the back parking lot.

    My first thought was the cut off fender doesn't help this shot no matter what you do with the color.
    Seems to be a pretty nice clean car with a very grungy license plate which would arouse suspicion to me.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Car In Parking Garage

    Thank you Don/Anbesol and Frog for all your comments to the post.
    To answer some of you questions, This is the full image =\
    I didnt want to have additional cars in the picture that would take any of the spot light away from my own. So yes, this is my car. After the trip down to MS, the car was obviously a lil' dirty - but i guess the lighting aided to its cleansliness

    I'll go ahead and try the B/W idea now that you mention it, also. And i was lucky to get that parking spot in the beginning of the row, so that i had that extra space to myself to the left of the car, , i SHOULD have backed out and reparked facing forward now that i think about it -

    lol, yea im not sure exactly what people can do with a license plate number, but i didnt want to take any chances ;) so i just put X's across the plate (thats what they do in magazines unless they got a cool custom plate :P )

    I'll get that black and white version up sometime very soon

    and again , thanks for all of the critique.

    I've got others also of the same car in the same spot, and also different locations, but i'll finish this thead out now that its posted

    thanks
