Folks in the Symbolic cars dealership in La Jolla were kind enough to let me set up a makeshift studio in their showroom. Wow, they have quite a selection there. This baby in the picture has a sticker price of $339.000. Talk about class...
It turns out that it's very hard to shoot a shiny new Rolls inside a densely packed showroom. It reflected every ugly detail of the surrounding: vents, neon lights, other cars, the photographer and his camera, you name it. Hence - lots of cloning afterwards... If I had more time and chutzpah, I should've taken her for a test drive to nicer pastures for a better background...
Cropping, cloning, curves, USM, selective color tweaking, Neat image, saved for web.

I love this idea. Very classy. This would have been really exceptional had the name and hood ornament been surrounded by a wreath rather than just this little bit of ribbon, but very nice. 7.
