We got a new Mini Yesterday :D

I can't decide which of these two photos I prefer... So please may you decide and give me your reasons :)

I prefer 1 with the higher light. Keeping a bit of the front wheel in frame helps too I think. Hard to drag my eyes away from that plant pot though, that spoils it for me.

Nice looking mini! :)

Would you say that this is better? - I know the white balance is off, but I shot in raw so I can easily change that :)

TBH I prefer the original cropped one, the unlit rear of the car doesn't help the uncropped one. Maybe cloning out the plant pot would help?

Ok, I'll have a go at getting rid of the plot plant

First for me too - the darker offside corner of the car makes more of the illuminated plant for me.

The colour of the car with the white stripes reminds of the car in Starsky & Hutch!!!

I prefer the first but agree the plant pot is distracting, but does add something

I think you need to rotate the shots slightly. It looks like there is an offside front puncture to me.

Well we just upgraded from a 2004 to a 2008 mini and the new one is HUGE!

Thanks for the view guys, I havn't had much time today to edit the photo, and I'm not sure that I really want to as that is what I did in the first place... I am going to go out again tonight and try some different lighting possisions, and take some pictures of the back of the car. I might try a photo of it with the speedster aswell...

If you havnt entered the muky depths of Out of Focus you wont understand. You know getting comfy under your username? Well mine was squirrel poo but DF (site mod/admin/owner person) changed it to what it is now. Oh and the reason why i wanted a title was becsue some stole it and had nothing there so i wanted mine back and I got squirrel poo and now i have lost my title AGIAIN!!

I like the last one best... the plant pot in the first few was too much.

On the last one, try to blow away that phone/power line with photoshop - that also catches my eye but not as much as the plant pot! Do that and it will be spot on! Nice work!

Oh and scrub out the number plate for your own sake!
