 Shot with speedlight bouncing off the roof.

Shot at Jaguar in Birmingham. There are too many reflections in the car so it may get penalised for that so I predict a 5.5

Slight crop off the right hand side, convert from RAW making the shadows slightly darker, desat everything other than the reds, boosted red slightly, curves, levels, ums.

Ohh that's one of my favorite cars. I think that with this composition, a wide angle lens to capture more of the car might have been helpful.
