It took three trips to the dealer to get this job done. I just couldn't get off from work in time to get there during business hours. The owner was nice enough to let me shoot for a few minutes while he closed up shop.

Every time I see this photo I like it. Such clean lines and bold shapes. It's a pity that more of that beautiful Ferrari red couldn't come out in the shot. The contrasting colours would have been magnificent - probably the way you saw it. But under Basic editing with that yellow colour cast, you did pretty well anyway.
Cathcing the reflection in the hood was a nice choice. Even if the room was that golden tone, it feels just a litte oppressive to me - a little desat might help. While this may be the right level of sharpness at which to print the photo, I think it looks a little unsharp for monitor presentation. And curiously, even though the stallion is anything but static, the framing of the horse left to right has a static effect. It feels static. Still, this is a nicely observed shot; and the treatment is solid.
Beautiful photo, thank your for capturing a great representation of the word affluence. What do I love about this photo? The reflection of the stallion in the hood of the car, the lighting and the play of color. What do I NOT like about this shot? Nothing it's awesome! 10
crisp pic. i wish the car and not the horse was the center of my attention. obviously the wall is reflecting a yellow tint but i'd like to see the car more in its true color, perhaps with some white balance adjustments or saturation adjustments in photoshop. from seeing the horse's reflection in the hood, i'm thinking it would have been cool to shoot just the car and see the horse on the wall as a reflection...if possible.
I wish the red were brighter. I'd like to see the reflection without the horse on the wall. It might be a tad more interesting and subtle. Just a suggestion.
