Critique Fiesta Sunset

[Mikehamilton]

Hi Guys

I am making a big effort to improve my flash car photography, so i have recently bought another flash gun. But untill that turns up i went out with the GF's car and shot this.

Taken using one 430exII, five flash exposures merged and one for the ground / sky.

Any comments or tips on how to improve the flash etc... please let me know.

I saw this on flickr but forgot to comment. The rear end of the car looks pretty flat and dull, where as the side looks a lot better. Not sure if this was done by the editing or because of the sunset. Was the flare added in pp or not?
It's a very commercial type photo, something you could see in the brochure or on a billboard advertising the car.

Thanks. Yes the flare was added in PP but I'm trying to evolve my flare so it looks better.

I'm not sure what I could do more in pp to the rear. As I only really cloned stuff out. Probably how I had the flash made it flat.
