 This was fun to take, no matter if it does well or not... The car is parked in my driveway - I would have loved to have been able to have the car drive slowly and pan with it to give a motion blur, but there were just too many variables with windshield reflections and whatnot, so I finally decided on the car being parked. The car really needed to be washed, too - hindsight's 20/20. I had to manually set the focus distance to five feet because the camera's autofocus would simply not focus well on the model.

Moved the levels and color balance to mostly blues in Photoshop, fiddled with the contrast a bit, unsharp mask, and there you go...

I'm still working on the photo in Photoshop with some motion blur (not for DPC), I think this is going to be a good one to add to my stock portfolio when it's done!

Not only is the idea great, but so well executed... I really love the exagerated "feel" to this, as well as the great exposure

Great idea! I drove clear through Myrtle Beach, SC, one day with my wallet on top of the car. Thankfully it was so hot that it stuck firmly to the roof!

This one made me LOL. Replace that purse with a fast food bag and I'm right there with you.

Do you know how hard it is to get chocolate milkshake out of a window seal? I do...
