Great location, great light.

Less foreground, more sky perhaps?

These are quite good. I prefer the first, but as a product image you probably just need to crop in from the bottom right somewhat.

The reflections are beautiful; I'm guessing they're all photoshopped?  If not, wow.  If so, wow.

I would like to see a bit more detail in the shadows on the closes fender and grille.  A bit too dark compared to the rest of the car. In the 2nd shot you get more out of the front, but the side of the car is still a bit lost. Suggest removing the distant water reflections, too, as they become the brightest thing in the image and immediately attract the eye.

:thumbsup:

Thanks for your feedback. Only PP done with those pictures was to merge two images taken with different settings (one for car, one for the sky) and removed wooden poles from the edge of the grass. Reflections are real - I always use CPL filter :)

Another two shots of different car taken two days later at the same location but with more play with light setup as it was much darker. PP the same: two bracketing images merged together but reflections are real :)





Cheers,
Serge

Yeah. The Honda isn't nearly as interesting. Good reflections, however.

I agree on the Honda.  But I was mentioning the Vauxhall Astra in Australia is called the HOLDEN Astra. :)
