And CaveDemon's first attempt at constructive criticism.

You might try working some more on the scale of the car vs the road, and try to find a road picture that is a little more level compared to the car's angle.

Well, he was harsh, but basically right. Just about everything is wrong (not that I could do better, mind you). As was already mentioned, the scale, the angle, but also the sharpness of the car is too low compared with the background and the lighting on the car is wrong (it doesn't even cast a shadow).
But yeah, these things are not easy to adjust, so, keep at it. It's certainly not terrible for a first attempt.
Once you have mastered them, you might move on to image composition and mood and so on, which are even harder to get right...

What really makes it out of place is the glare and haze from the headlights. It doesn't fit the daytime setting.

Haha. I knew that was coming. Hey I wasn't out to make it a piece of picture prefect artwork.

The cars too small and at the wrong angle.
Also the reflection is wrong.

It's crap.

Okay, when you say it, it's just uncalled for. Everyone else has already said that, you don't need to rub it in his face.

I don't know why I feel like pointing this out, but there's a lens flair on each headlight.

Scale, perspective, sharpness and levels are off. Also, the car doesn't have shadow.

Would that make it a ghost car?

You can always bs that kind of thing to avoid more work. Imagination wins again !:awesome:

After seeing the first post, I thought: uh oh...compared to other things people show off you really should have the common sense to realize that you need a lot more experience to make something that looks pleasing.

Beauty is in the eye of its creator, but if you don't see anything wrong with your own picture you can probably qualify for handicapped parking
