Thanks for the kind words! - though I find a lot wrong with it! I'm totally unhappy with the upper half (left) of the image, the warehouse door dosn't "blur" nicely in a rig shot, and contradicts the blur in the rest of the photograph. You can also see the shadows of the guys who were pushing from the other side of the car (underneath the car) and in hindsight I think I should have positioned the car further away from the door and just shot it completely indoors.
Also - the colours isn't right, I wanted to contrast cold and warm colours together (like you see on some really amazing portraiture where they use cold and warm lighting on either side of the model) but it didn't quite work here.
LOL--I think you're doing what ever OCD photographer does--over thinking it. LEt me give you my perspective.
First, I think you nailed this shot and that is what forced me to respond.
Second, and explaining the fist, the shadows from those pushing the car are not relevant unless you know beforehand what was going on. I simply don't see it even after your explanation.
Third, the colors are warm and cool. I think teh yellow compliments teh blue/green perfectly, althugh it's not perfectly "warm" or "cool"--it's better.
Fourth, the fact the door did not blur like you wanted it, for me, was a good thing. The door, where the car is headed at what looks like a high rate of speed, is relatively crisp, which for me gives the entire image a tight, focused, chiseled, REFINED look that reflect the car's body lines and overall crisp, angular style.
Fifth, if you have total control over everything all your shots begin to look the same, which is good when you are doing copy work, and bad when you are doing everything else.
