Ok, obviously not a car enthusiast crowd. There were a couple of comments referring to it not being "exotic" enough or not "interesting" enough. There are less than 1,000 of these cars still in existance today and it's only a 2002 model. There's more corvettes on the road than there are of this car. But why do I get the impression this would have scored better if it had been a Corvette or similar car?? WTF gives. I do appreciate all of the technical comments and all I have to say is I do what I can with what I have and did infact use a polarizer...although a fairly cheap polarizer. I really do appreciate all of the helpful comments!

fine technically, but not exactly interesting or evocative

I like the shot. My comments on it are, I would like less reflection (or not as bright) on the windsheild and more fill on the side of the car. I like the lower angle on this shot.

i think the shot suffers a bit from the location the car is in. the sunlight has left really big white areas across the windscreen and part of the bonnet, and this really unbalances the picture. and with the sun seemingly on the left, has made the side of the car dark and not very defined. the reflections in the bumper are very bright too. it's an attractive car, but i don't think it's different or exotic enough to stir much emotion (sorry). 4.

A straight shot!

a circular polarizer would have helped with the glare on the windshield and hood ... you captured very nice color though ...

Polarizer would have helped you here a lot. The reflections are kinda disrupting the whole car.
