This was by far the most fun I have had in a while. I think that me and my group committed at least fifteen crimes in making this shot, but I feel it was well worth it. Quite a few heads were turning as we kept going in circles around the high school, but I knew what I wanted the shot to look right.
The challenge was keeping my hands steady while trying to dial in the correct settings in the camera while laying on my stomach in the back of a outback going 30 mph over a multitude of speed bumps, all the while trying to convince my wife to drive within mere feet of the rear bumper of said outback.
PP was convert from RAW, run Topaz adjust, duplicate layer (opacity 70%, multiply), curves, selective color, resize, add text, usm, saturation boost, some dodge and burn, save for web. I think that is it.
Post challenge: Not quite where I expected after having a 6.8 at one point, but thats fine. I took the comments about the font, brought the shot into Indesign, and this is what I came up with . Is it better? |

| very well done: motion blur, car in focus, a little reflection of the sky in the windshield, still being able to see the driver, bold colors. all of that creates an emotion of races and speed. well done |

| The photo is spectacular. comp works well for text placement. However, the text you chose is a bit hard to read. With a different font this could be a viable ad. |

This is a very good car ad, great exposure, good location, good framing and I love the sense of motion.
Can't flaw this one at all, hope you've included the details on how you did this one as I would like to read them.
10 from me. |

| I like the overall composition of this image. The front of the car is a little dark though, however the use of panning and the crop you have applied is very good. The text used is spot on and well placed for an Ad. I like the sub reflection off the front wheel flare as well,, i think it adds to the image. |

| beautiful car, really well photographed to capture the car sharp as a tack and the road just rolling as if water - among my favorites for a ribbon |

| Nice shot. I like the blur of the pavement to show motion. Composition is perfect. The only thing I would like is for the front end to be lightened a touch to see a little more detail of the front end. I just noticed the perpendicular lines on the pavement; shot in a parking lot? I won't hold that against you :) Well done image. |
