i think this is quite a cool pic. It was only taken with my phone, but i think the reflection ect looks the nuts.

be kind..

Reflection: very good.

Lights: not (IMO)

my side lights or the surrounding light?

Have to agree, reflection does look good, but light doesn't; it is all yellowish.

Your phone has used the wrong colour temperature, fixable in Photoshop.

my side lights or the surrounding light?

The blue sidelights (sorry). Partly caused by wrong colour temp.

The ambient light has a 'hot spot' to the top left of the picture which is distracting.

But that reflection is great.

Honest answer: was it deliberate or something you spotted afterwards?

The yellowish is caused by the underground lighting sadly. It is a yellow car park. My sidelights do look white by eye but show as blue if I use my phone. I really must get some decent batteries for my Fuji cam.

Thanks for the comments tho. I'd love to learn all the tricks of photography.

the puddle was deliberate. the only puddle in the car park. I saw a Evo pic on facebook with it photoshoped onto a lake and it looked mad. thought id try and do my own version.

ive just started messing about with my dads DSLR heres a pic :

It looks ace gee and I'm a seasoned enthusiast. For the limitations that a phone cam presents the finished product is very good. There are white balance issues but i doubt you would have control of that in what would be a predominantly automatic setup.

However the subject is outstanding and that should be the focus of critique also. So photo? Based on equipment level, good exposure and composition, minor white balance issues.

Subject? Outstanding, although needs silver mirrors haha.

lol.. she has silver mirrors back on now whilst i spray my others Gloss black

Mmmmm gloss black. There's an idea.

Nice pic Gee, but if you'd had the bonnet shut you could have cropped off the post with the bright light reflection on it.

Not that I am an expert, but that would have been what I'd have done.

I'm sure someone can now tell me why that's the wrong thing to do!

Considering you take most (all?) of your pics on a camera phone I'm amazed you get the results you do to be honest.

I had to buy a decent DSLR because mine were terrible.

The pillar has its place, as it helps the vehicle stay off centre but keeps the pic evenly weighted. Esp as the pillar is also reflected, adds to the urban feel. No one wants a subject dead centre its what everyone does, some of my best pics the subject was only partially in shot.

Just my opinion, all that is needed is lens distortion correction to straighten it up, as its bent a little, and some lightroom recovery to reduce the blowouts from the lighting

This could have been better if you'd angled the camera downwards slightly so you crop out the bland sky above the far car (which is wasted image) and included all of it in the reflection. try getting it so you get just a a little of the fence showing above the far car (but not the top of the fence) and the crease in the near car at the bottom of the rear window level with the roof of the far one.that would be a cracker- is it the same car on double xposure/a photoshop wonder or 2 of the same. If you can position it so the pillars doesn't come out of the car that would be even better. You can block out some of teh background with your car(s) too which may. Personally I'd say return and have a serious session and experiment with both your camera position and the amount of zoom you're using and don't take them all from the same place. move about left/right/towards/further away it's only a digital image so won't cost anything!- sometimes you can get a shot you didn't plan that comes out better than the 1 you had planned. On the whole though a very good image that shows good imagination- it's easier to pick up the technical skills, much more difficult to develop the artistic ones which you clearly have so keep pinching his camera! Hope this helps cheers Ade
