    Sunset makes for great lighting. Make sure you have a tripod and good editing software!:guns:

    Looks nice, I would like to see it lightened up a little to see more detail.

    Great shot - Nice play of light and shadow.
    No unwanted detail in reflective areas.
    Just love it.

    I tweaked the brightness on my monitor and now it looks perfect.

    Troy,
    Are those wheels 14" or 15", How many shots did you have to take to get that one?.. How many inches off the ground is the camera?
    It is superb.

    Jimbo,

    With the small timeframe of available light, I was only able to get off about 5-6 photos of that approximate angle, and then then I had to turn the car around and get the rear. The car is parked uphill from the camera/tripod so that I can get that effect. I also use a longer lens to avoid distortion of the car. The wheels are 15"

    I've been working on automotive photography for over a year now as part of my new business. It takes a while to learn what works, and how to use various locations. Glad you like it!

    Troy
