These comments and are exactly what i was looking for. i am not into everybody saying brilliant shot etc, (those are nice :-) but i look for more in the line of improvments that i can make.

Agree with the underexposed (just a bit) comment and that Yanko's take on it shows that you weren't that far off. Lighting looks great to me.

Comment by Sheryll:
I agree with the other comments and think the edit by Yanko really pulls it out. I also agree on comment in the thread about the tight crop at the top. The reflection on the other two shots look good but this one doesn't work as well because the whole car isn't as visible (probably because of the overall darkness) but the reflection looks like extra wheels in the wrong spots. Yanko's edit brings out a bit more of the car but it still doesn't look as good as the other two shots (in the reflection portion). I think all three shots are great but, I know how it is when I ask for comments. I want approval but, I also want to know what I can do to make it better. Of course I'm no expert myself which is why I love getting comments on what I can do better.

Comment by Sheryll:
It seems just a tiny bit dark to me. Maybe a little more brightness in pp would help. Of course it depends on whether my screen is calibrated right or not but compared to the other two shots this one just seems a bit too dark on the red. Awesome shot otherwise.

Comment by yanko:
I like where you positioned your lights which produced very pleasing highlights. I do agree with Louis in that this could be brighter so I took a quick stab at editing it (hope you don't mind). In addition to curves I ran noise reduction.

Comment by Louis:
The light is interesting, and the black background with reflection is beautiful, but overall it has an underexposed feel, which I think detracts in a picture like this. Have you tried using Curves or other adjustment layers in post?
