Not exactly the most "Ad" looking of my shoot with this car but hey, I don't care anymore, I can't judge what pleases DPC so I'm just gonna choose what I like.

PP:
3 exposures 3 stops apart
HDR'd and tonemapped in Photomatix
Levels & Curves
Desaturate
Dodge & Burn
Vignette
Border & Text added

Hope it scores somewhere between 5 and 7.

P.S This car had over 500bhp at the wheels, I drove it after the shoot, OMG it was stupidly quick!!

Nice capture and nice composition for this, which matches well the theme you chose. Great presentation here and use of the text to make a professional looking Ad.

I like the backdrop here, and the processing. I'd have preferred more light on the car.

This is a great location, one of the best I've seen so far. There's a lot that right about this shot, the colours, the framing, the background which fits in well with the caption.

Something else you have done very well is the text, it makes it's point, it's clear, but it doesn't get in the way, so you leave the car as the main focus of the shot just as it should be.

My only minor complaint is the license plate! The rest of the car looks shiny and new, the background is all sharp and well exposed, but the license plate is a kind of dull off white colour. 9 from me.

nice ride - cleaning up the rotty license plate would have helped it - better yet, clone it out entirely ... eh? */*
super concept and post capture work. 8

The "straight from the factory" text kind of spoils it for me. Otherwise great. 6.

Cool backdrop. However I'd like to see more contrast in order to better display the product.

I like the polish of the ad, espec how it juxtaposes the car with the venting and grunge...

really pretty car - i like the theme and the choice of text on the bottom - i am just not sure about the text on top - it seems a bit busy

Very nice. Truly looks like one you'd see in a glossy brochure.

I love the background, but the text seems out of place.
