    I think it's a great picture, though I do find the blown out light above the car to be distracting.

    I think it's a great example of a car that looks like it's moving fast even when it's standing still. When I first looked at it, for that split second instant, I thought it was an in motion shot.
    Cheers,

    Interesting image! It all looks a little sinister to me .. the dark and empty car-park giving a sense of threat. I think this threat feel is accentuated by the ever so slight tilt you have given it. If anything, even more of a slight tilt would give it even more of a dysfunctional feel. The light flare is a problem though.

    good shot, I like the empty garage a lot for this. You could reshoot and stick the car under a light again and compose it so that the light is barely out of frame or crop it right above the elevator/stair sign.

    Thanks everyone for the input. This has been my 3rd attempt at these shots in this location and i'm finally getting some photos im happy with. I totally agree about the light above the car, I have a list of items to keep an eye out for and I always forget a couple it seems. I had another shot that had an even worse light distraction but I figured this one was at least usable.

    I didn't even notice the tilt till you mentioned it. I can fix that at least.

    Thanks all
