took this at the local park.. i had forgotten about the aspect ratio thing when taking the pic, so i tried to get it as narrow as possible, which got it looking decent i guess.. oh well, we'll see how it goes.

Some level agjustments, slight hue changes to get my car the right color (white balance must have messed it up) and a tad bit of sharpening..

Sport Compact Car Magazine? Can't say i'm familiar with that one. Nice photo though; the background compliments the subject nicely.

Perhaps a different time of day would have reduced the side window reflection?

Excellent advertisement shot. A bit too much glare on the windows, but great lighting and color otherwise.

NICE JOB making this a vertical, it would have been so easy to make it a horizontal. Nice looking car. I like your lighting and your composition in this photo, it's very well done. The trees add a lot to this... as if to say, sporty in the country. Plenty of room for type. Very well done.

Impressive. This looks just like a picture from an in-depth Car & Driver review or comparrison test. The only thing that bothers me just a little bit, is the wind/bug deflector on the hood. It just add an after-market feel that takes away from it. I still think this is wonderful though. - 10

I think it might be stronger if it was turned a little more towards us with the wheels turned very much the other way. And then take it from a bit higher up. Maybe just a few feet up. And then see if you can shower some dark pavement to put it on... you'd be set.

nice shot...

Nice looking car. I like that you have the fog lights on. I would think that with a car shot for a magazine, you would want to get a lower camera angle and closer crop so as to make the buyer of the magazine to want to buy the magazine. With this angle it looks like you parked in a nice area, got out and snapped a shot. If you're gonna do a higher angle, then a step ladder so you can get roof line would help. Technically, nothing wrong with the shot, just doesn't have the spark to scream magazine cover shot. 7 -danny

I would have preferred if you did panning on this car or an open space with no distractions like the trees behind.

I can definately see this on a auto magazine cover. The background is beautiful and goes well with the yellow of the car. Technically well done and I like the angle at which you took this. Good luck in the challenge. 9

The dimensions are quite like a magazine.
Nice shot of the landscape.
