Hi MH, Thought I'd throw out of few comments about the shot and, as I remember, some of your other posts. I like the idea of combining architecture and automobiles a lot. I've done it many times and when the background enhances the shape or context of the vehicle it's very effective. I'm not sure what your intentions are concerning car photography, whether it's a hobby or something you'd like to pursue professionally. Since I don't think you've gotten much feedback from the site, here's my input. These shots are a good start for a portfolio, my main suggestion would be to give the images more impact, whether it is with color, design or light, the shots need to be more visually exciting. This particular image needs light and I think a bit more color (the building and vehicle work well together). As I see it the main challenge in automotive photography is to define the shapes that the designer put into the sheetmetal. Light is the main tool I use to accomplish this, whether it's in the studio or on location. This attention to light needs to be better defined in your images. I like the X6 location, as well as, your other locations, something to keep in mind is that these backgrounds have value. Always, shoot the image without the vehicle in the shot, in short order you'll have a nice stock library of backgrounds. Lately, my workflow has been to shoot the vehicles at a pad (large, open tarmac), and then shoot the backgrounds to match the light and draw (perspective) on the vehicle. I've just returned from shooting samples in Death Valley and some architecture in Las Vegas, when I finish putting everything together I'll post the images. Jim
