    Small is beautiful

    Here are 3 more from this afternoon. Then again, I am removing color and giving them a bit more contrast to make the black pop a little.

    My presence on the rear-view mirror is intentional but unwanted on the two first picture.
    Is there any way to avoid this (other than shooting at distance with a 600mm lol...)??

    BTW, the S on the car stands for Seb...

    Hi Seb,
    I like Photos 2 and 3. The lines are simple and elegant.
    All the best.

    Hi,
    I like # 3, it is cool. The first one is not too bad but it appears to have bird poop on or something on the car. Good jpb

    Two and three are the better with three being my choice. I like the reflection in the side mirror, but think you could benefit from that polarizer on these with that glare from the side window.
    To get you out of the reflection, you could set up a tripod and set the timer, but you would still have the camera set up visible, but might not be as obvious.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    I like the 3rd one best because of the reflection. Assume that you are really aiming for a nice photo overall, not a product shot specifically. If this was a cooper ad, you would do as gahspidy said, and then maybe edit out the camera all together in photoshop. But assuming you don't care about the car alone, then the 3rd is a lot of fun
    Opinions I got lots, expertise none!! Hmm… except for giving opinions!!

    Especially like #3, but maybe include just a little more door handle on the left side of the frame. By moving around a little, you might be able to reduce your reflection a little. Also the tripod/self timer would probably help a little too. You'd have to clone the rest out in Photoshop. Actually, it shouldn't be too hard to clone that small area in #3 just how it is.

    I read this today, you might find it interesting: http://www.vividlight.com/articles/3612.htm

    I like #2 best - it seems to tell a more complete story than the others. I'd maybe crop or burn to get the upper right corner more in line.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks a lot for the extra comments.

    I will reissue these sooner or later with a polarizer and I will try not to reflect on the car.

    regards

    Seb
