Arrived at the workshop far too early this morning so figured I'd take some shots of Raoul, our Seat..

Shooting in RAW for the first time, and with a pit of PS, I've come up with this..

I rather like it, It's turned out much as I aimed it to..

Thoughts anyone?

Good shot for an unplanned shoot! Hope you don't mind if I make a few comments...
I'd suggest adjusting the composition slightly so that you can see both headlamps fully ( the cars "eyes&quotwink, and so that the intrusive pylons and trees are not stuck out of the top of the car. A lower view point would also help.

I know this was a grab shot so I wouldn't expect the following, but if you were doing a magazine shoot then you'd need to:
- Set the front wheels face on (you're almost there) to the lens.
- Align the logos on the wheels level with the ground, the right way up (anal I know!)
- Remove the tax disk, it's distracting
- Give the car a wash!

Not sure the BW works too well, but I know what you were trying to achieve.

Hope this helps!

I'd crop an inch or so (to the bush) off the right side of the picture.

B&W conversion is quite nicely done though.
