I went to the local Friday nite cruise hoping to see a car with a perfect black finish...and this beautiful 1955 Chevy Bel Air arrives. BTW, for all you tech detail oriented folks, the camera was set to AUTO ( No, not automobile!). Cropping, lightness/darkness, and saturation adjustments, thanx to Photoshop CS. No sharpening was used!

now this is the type of reflection i wanted, a black car does wonders for acting like a mirror the only problem i see is that the chrome is over exposed on some parts and tends to show blown out, but thats ok since the rest of the picture is perfect.
I have a problem with one thing though, i dont know which of the two reflections you intended to be your favorite for the shot. if i were you i'd capture just one of the reflections and crop to fit that, exposing just a bit of the other. like for example use the windows reflection and show just up to the door handle for the crop. it would add alot more to the picture or vice versa. crop out some of the window and leave the entire panel, or maybe focusing on just the bel-air logo and leaving the background as the reflection...who knows i'm just trying to see what could be helpful here lol. I just think two main subjects can sometimes be a tad distracting.
the colors are very nice, i love the effect of the sky in the body panel but theres a dark line running thru part of it that seems to take away from that beauty. your camera did a good job being on auto and there isnt much you can do to change your settings so for what its worth this shot is very nice, congrats.
i love this photo. i love the colors and shapes in this photo! i also love how the photo is just full of different reflections on the bel air. REALLY well done!
Very nice, love the vivid colors in the reflections. Kudos for the original idea on shooting very crowded car shows, tough to get good looking car photos when other cars are always seeming to get into the frame. Nice job, good luck!
I really love the colors. ^^ It's such an interesting picture, with an equally awesome reflection. The angle of the shot really adds to it also. Nice. :)
7 - Like this and 'different'. Good colors. Criticism; not much, perhaps a slight rotate and different crop, excluding the wheel and white panelling far right, may have made this better in my opinion. edit:typo
I love this and hate the fact that I have never been able to get a good reflection at a car show ! You made lemonade out of some fine looking 'lemons'! One of my fave's!
