The model (yes, this is Ingrid again) was very patient while I attempted to capture my own reflection while still trying to capture a somewhat interesting shot.
The large 10'8" umbrella in the background was used to light up the wall behind the car to burn it out when taken from the right angle for this particular setup.
The bright light on my back comes from one of three beauty dishes directly behind my back that was used to spot-backlight the side wall for the shoot.
Car and lights were all placed inside a huge tent (kind of like a gigantic Lastolite Cube). 2 supersize softboxes which served as main lights to light the car and model were placed above the tent roof which then served as a huge diffuser.
Post challenge: Thank you so much everyone for all the comments. I see that a few of the voters did not see the photographer (me) but I guess I kind of asked for it :)

It is such a shame that people speed voted on this, it is very well done and the score is a shame. Someone even commented DNMC, perhaps they need to be beaten with their own camera. :D
Ha, look at all the fly by voters who clearly didn't even look at the image properly. So far from being DNMC. What a very well done image and seriously should have scored a lot higher. Had I voted it would definitely have been a high score from me.
Yes, subtle and well done. I actually missed it on the "5 second run through" the first time but thought I miss "something" and saw the reflection when I went back to give this a long look. This is so underrated and should get a posthumous award.
I think you did what you intended too well and your score was hurt by the subtlety you created. With a model like that, people (guys, at least) will not be looking for a reflection. As I mentioned in my in-challenge comment, I almost missed it. Should have placed higher.
