I really like this one, I took about 50 shoots and this was my favorite so hopefully it won't do too bad.

I would suggest making the car more dominant, by shooting with wider lens and removing the right-hand empty space

Not bad. But I'd be surer of what you're selling if the crop were much tighter.

Don't like the way the lighting makes the hood seem two-tone. Also find the lights coming through the back window to be distracting.

Nice car. I would have liked to have seen some kind of close up to show the lines.

I really like the contrast and the value and of course the car

Needs more light on the grille

I like the shot, this is straight out of a Benz brochure. It really shows of the "lifestyle" picture.

Nice lighting and shot, the problem I have with this is that you cannot make out the hood ornament on the car from this angle. Granted most people will know what it is, nut their logo means ALOT. Specks of light in the black on the right of the car are a little wierd. Nice shot overall though

The lighting indicates that the door is the focus of this advertisement (especially because it's red). Perhaps more light on the car would make this better.

Come in closer, leave just a hint of the building, make it ALL about the car. Too much non-contributing space.

Nice but I think a tighter crop on the car may have worked a little better

Good looking shot with nice technicals. Though wish the curvy grassy ledge was cropped out.

boring background

could have been in a better location

Great! My only critique: a closer crop to get rid the bottom gray and the "thing" at the lower right part. 8

too much space, not enough car for me
