The motif (motive? - not a native English speaker) is nice, red, black and white always works well together and the asphalt, wheels and tires together with the red car is nice.

The guy standing in the upper left part of the image really breaks the otherwise beautiful outline of the car and this is actually one of those few photos where HDR might have done the trick with regard to the shadows beneath the car and the completely blown out sky.

Regarding composition it falls a bit to the left.. or.. it is a bit heavy on the left side, but the curves and lines are nice, very nice.

Hmm.. all in all its a somewhat good photo, but the man, the blown out sky and the feeling of tilting to the right detracts somewhat from it.

That is my opinion anyways.

Best regards

I agree with everything you said. I tried very hard to avoid having a person in the shot, but at a car show there is always someone passing in front. I appreciate the comment though.

Maybe next time you get a shot like this maybe you could try and use a larger aperture. There might be a sweet spot where the car is still in focus but the man is turned into beautiful bokeh (depending on the glass :)

Wow - great lines and colors and reflections - that guy in your background, however, is a bit unfortunate for your shot. Excellent work overall.

Best,
Jon

Thanks Jon. It's always appreciated.

Very cool.
I have a car show to shoot this next weekend and this shot is pretty inspiring to me.
I agree with the above comments, but no reason to run those details into the ground!

Thanks Mike. Good luck at the shoot.

I like fast red cars!! Pretty much most of my comments have already been said. Did you shoot this car from the front? Might hold more interest?
