I agree - either you could go all out urban and find somewhere moody like railway arches in a city, or remove all clutter and go take some shot out in the Countryside!
V nice car too! I do like the angle - especially to show off how clean it is!

Because I should be working.........
If it's for commercial use on your website, perhaps something like.....???
the reflections look nice, but the top half looks like its been cut out by a child with a pair of scissors

Nice shot 
As badgerbaiter said, the cutting is a tad poor.

The reflection is very badly done IMO.
Nice shot
I think that is a bit unfair. dazzajl probably just did it quickly to show what could be done. I doubt it was the best effort.

It's just that it looked very unrealistic with all the liquefying of the reflection. Though since it was a rush job the magnetic lasso tool was probably used for the selection ,which is why it is jagged.
A bit of burning and dodging to emphasise the lines and a more subtle reflect (so it doesn't distract from the actual car) would be much more effective for an advert:

Thankyou mark.
It was actually not a child with a pair of scissors but me, with a rusty old hacksaw..... and as has been so notably picked up by the more perceptive amongst us, it was just a sketch intended to illustrate an idea.
Believe it or not, I have better things to do with my life than spend time cutting out porsches.

A sketch that seems worthwhile too as the flakey one has already taken it a big step further towards a usable idea.
Although it would need to be 110% bang on with a title like "get detailed". Which of course FF sketch isn't.
Took me less than 5 minutes in Photoshop.

...and a good five minutes work it is too. Alas I didn't have the inclination to spend that long and even if I did, I'm only a photographer and don't have need for great puter skills.

I'm still very much a newbie when it comes to photo manipulation. I'll have to practice for many years to get anywhere near as good as the pros.
Is that the same Detailed Reflections from DW?
What you could do, is get a pic of the car dirty, then do the reflection trick above, but use a pic of the car clean for that - IE A Detailed Reflection?
sure is mate!
thanks for all the comments and also the reflection pic!
