I design and photograph for a magazine. I’ve done Merc adverts on many occasions and any adverts that they’re supplied with a composited image, it’s horrible! Unless it’s taken in 1 shot, they’re crap! Volks aren’t much better either! Case-and-point:

To protect that brand and with their budget, you do expect better.

I dunno, I always just shrug my shoulders at this kind of thing. There was clearly no attempt at realism here. It looks like they handed this to an overworked graphic designer at the last minute. It’s sloppy, and your would think that Mercedes would have higher standards. I’m not sure what the moral is.

Angles on the head of a pin argument. Now, on the other hand, MB certainly paid some “professional” to create this, one who probbaly bets paid more than me.

Those of us who edit with software will notice the incorrect matching of perspectives in this shot whereas anyone that just gives it a glance(clients) will love it.

No, it’s not that bad, is not mean to be a superb photo, just a representative photo with great colors and then.

The shadows are totaly off and the green on the wheels are problematic, but looking the photo on the timeline page you just don’t pay THAT attention to this things…
I think someone had some problem with Mercedes and it was not me…
