Hi all,

Whilst I was bored here at work, I thought I'd try my hand at popping colour. Very, very easy for a simpleton like me. If anyone else is thinking of giving it a go it is very easy and gives very different results very quickly.

Anyway; I knocked these two images up please tell me what you think, I realise that they both aren't perfect but I was quite happy with them!

I've got it for sale on the forecourt.
In fact we've just reduced it to £18,989.......

Thanks for your kind comments people.

yup, the alfa pic is way better than the viper pic.
the only thing that spoils the alfa shot is the decals on the side.. i think it would be an even nicer shot in full colour (never been a big fan of the b+w+c shots)

Like this one? Although it isn't the original photograph it is at least in full colour.

Why doesn't the Viper work so well? Is that the boring background, or that the car takes up all the shot?

Think its the racetrack background together with the white on the car.

The "shiny car in a non-car environment" thing is what Top Gear and other arty sorts do with stuff like this.

Shiny supercar, heavy shiny colour, dull industrial or remote mountain background and there you go.
