Good subject matter and closeups are always fun. Unfortunately the car is a little soft and the busy background is in focus.   Posted: 05/15/2020 12:30:00



 
Yep. I miss my old F3. It did what I wanted. I wonder if anyone makes a back that would work on the F3?   Posted: 05/15/2020 23:25:26

I think Brad pretty much nailed it. I like the idea of looking into the truck cab but find the mirror struts somewhat distracting.   Posted: 05/17/2020 18:18:50

My first impression was the lack of sharpness where needed. I also detect a blue cast. Added warmth would no doubt increase the color of the truck.   Posted: 05/25/2020 14:45:29

Good angle showing the interior and background. Using a more open exposure with a setting to not show detail in the background, using a tripod or bracing against the car might eliminate some of the background competition. Bill pointed out what I first noticed was the blue cast that reduced might help the colors in the image. I opened the image and solved this by simply opening Adjustments>Saturation>blue and slide it towards the light side. I would enter it here but my Photoshop just froze up on me and wouldn't allow any control.   Posted: 05/27/2020 23:15:26



 
Interesting subject. Beautiful blending and color tones. I like the angle of view. I don't know if anything can be done to remove the distracting transverse and oblique bars.   Posted: 05/31/2020 10:45:31

I like the subject. the composition is different, but the car is a little soft and the busy background is in focus. I would go back there and try again, making sure to move a focus point to the truck window (or manually focus) -- this has a lot of potential.   Posted: 05/31/2020 19:43:59
