Holden Commodore ss

This is taken in front of a fiber glass model of a breaching whale fixed at the entrance of the The Hervey Bay Marina. The car is owned by a close friend of ours who runs a coffee shop on the decking entrance to the marina.
Shot early morning so as not to have many reflections.

In Lightroom 1.4.1 Color toned and cropped and transferred to CS3

I would guess that you might get comments about the blue font, but I kind of like it. Nice idea and well done.

The color really isolates the product. Nice job.

Ahhh, the Commodore SS.......
Not really sure about this. The bright car looks good, reasonable lighting on it, and the paint really does stand out. The whale looks completely fake, especially the way it is lit compared to the rest of the scene, and then the background is univiting, with the wind going, like there is a storm on he way. It seems like 3 scenes stitched together, with none of them really connecting, or shot in front of a blue screen..........

Not my fav color, but definitely my blue ribbon fav pic. From the dark contrast of the sky, to the gentle breeze in the trees, to the "whale of a light" and its reflection, it is just magic. The lighting on the car is purrfect.

a very punny entry. the image itself has all that you want - sharp, intense colors, interesting location. the slogan has a great appeal to those that like word games. i am just not fond of the choice of font - it seems too busy, especially with all the fonts and colors. I think a simpler font design would have looked a bit more polished
