Washed and Waxed

[armando_m]

First I wanted to showoff my new car
bought "used" with only 1000 miles
my first Diesel

I also would like to read your C&Cs

The photo was shot at 200mm
I could have used a bit more DOF maybe F8 would have done the trick to have the rear wheel in focus
About the funny looking headlights: Parking lights are on, plus the bulbs in the middle are yellow, outside bulbs have a blue tip

Looks nice. I've never owned a new car.

I would crop almost all the pavement in front a little off the right side. Did you use a polarized filter?

Looks like a pro car shot to me! Only nit pic is the top right hand corner of the frame and those intruding bushes. I wish the brown rock would've extended all the way out of the frame.

Overall a good shot. Take a broom with you next time and sweep all the debris on the pavement out of the frame. It's a bit distracting.

I think your dof is fine. My only nit is I'd like the wall above the roof to be a bit higher which would require a higher angle which might not be good.

Looks good, is it a TDI?

Aarmando,

When you are sweeping the rocks from the front of the car, you might finish the detailing job and get the dust off the tires: :lol: I would like to see the wall either lower or higher so that it is not so close to the top, might minimize the distraction. Nice car and shot.

Looks like it could be an ad for a car advertisement.

Nice car. I like the DOF as it is. I agree with the others about the wall, and would like to see the pavement cropped about halfway between the bottom of the frame and the bottom of the front tire, and just past the brown thing in the right of the frame.

I love the colors in the headlights. I once thought of going around taking close-ups of brake lights, because some of them look really cool
