 My ride, again, in a garage at work. This is another HDR attempt with PhotoMatix plugin for tone mapping. Cloned out some bits of trash, hot pixels, and hardly visible reflections in the door. Lights were quite blown out in the processing of the HDR so I actually did a second tone map and layered it over the top and bottom portions, then masked. Probably too much work for corrections; likely just needed a correctly mapped image in the first place. Bumped exposure up on the wheels and minor highlights on the car. Full size image reveals some uncrisp lines, likely due to handheld captures at ISO 200 plus being merged into the HDR.

Not expecting much on this one. Might have to be into cars for this to be appealing. DPC tastes seem to be hit and miss.
