Hey Ian. What I really like is the angle of shot! Makes the Porsche a lot more dramatic. One Thing that catches my eye, are the black grill and the black wheels, i would have loved to see a Little bit more Detail there. Overall a nice shot!
Did you ever try to convert it into b&w? I could imagine this would look nice!
Thanks for your critique. Always good to read other points of view. Not done a B&W. But you are right it might/should look good in monochrome, although I do lik the little colour accents, yellow line reflecting the colour of the flag but contrasting with the blue sky and the red brake caliper, for just a hint of excitment.
I see what you mean. Maybe a slightly desaturated look will do it too!
Just what I was working on. Great minds think alike. Or is it a case of, fools seldom differ? Anyway, I think it is better than the original version, so that is good. You like?
Thanks for your CC.

Really like it! Gives it a dramatic look, paired with the contrasty flash! Like it!
I'm not sure what the original looked like but I assume this is a re-edit?
One thing to note when you're flashing a car for any purpose, is to keep the curves of the car in mind. That's the design of the car and what separates it from others. Always try to enhance the car.
With just a spot light on the side of the car and then some sun exposure on the hood it doesn't seem to make much sense. Both from a lighting standpoint and a visual standpoint.
Luckily the flash isn't splotchy and all over the car, but it just doesn't seem right in my eyes.
Something to keep in mind for next time is multiple exposures and "light paint" with the flash and try to get a more fluid lighting type across the car. Emphasize the curves with a high flash (up on a stand, hand hold it, something) to show them off.
Lighting a car with flash is no joke, I know it's difficult, keep at it!
A great influence of mine is Dale Martin, he put together a nice little video showing one of his shoots from a few years back...

Hi Ian, I'm assuming you're talking about the photo you reposted in the comments as your original link doesn't work. My comments are related to that photo in the comments, so apologise if it's a different photo. I prefer your other Porsche photo to this one. The light/flag tower is a bit distracting, but that's a minor thing.
I see you've gone for a moody kind of shot, but the problem I have is that the the parts of the car you've lit up, don't actually accentuate or highlight any of that classic 911 shape that the car is famous for, and I feel like I'm missing out on seeing the features of what the 911 is - like the those cool air ducts behind the rear doors, the sloping rear coupe, the pumped rear guards. I think the biggest thing with the lighting style you've gone for is that the back of the car blends into the background and has no separation, and therefore you lose the lines of the car.
Is this just a single shot or have you layered from different photo's using a single light?
