It looks really cool 

Can you explain the  'composed from 12 images' and how you did that?

The second one is much better, I feel on the first, the car gets lost against the background, especially the bonnet, roof and windscreen.  There's also some strange colour cast on the front wheel.  I'd probably either put a star burst on the massive specular highlight under the headlight (similar to the one on the grill) or try and tone that down slightly.

colour cast on front wheel is that its filthy and the back one isnt because the guy in the garage cleaned it when he fixed a puntucre      i agree about the lack of seperation from the background in the first, looking back i should have moved the flash round further to create a rim light  :embarassed:

I'd agree that the second one is better. But because of the shadow all around it, it looks slightly too super-imposed. The black shadow around the back end is particularly noticable.

The first one looks like it was taken at night with a big spot light and the background is far too dark. Besides, the front corner of the Insignia isn't particularly interesting at that angle. The car itself looks much better from the side in the second shot.

agreee rear angle does look more intresting


dodgey shadow around rear end is purely down to my poor, rushed editing  :embarassed:

used my 18-105 lens with a pl filter on the second which i think helped alot


3rd and final

on reflection i found it hard to do this kind of shot during the day as i knew i didnt really want to include the background as the location was poor.

[DubFan]

Much better.
But clean the bonnet  oh and there's a little red thing at the top of the bonnet.
And the car needs straightening.

Otherwise, very good.
