Fantastic reflection and framed perfectly.

I've taken shots similar to this before, I like them.

This example is really good, the red/scarlet/magenta tones work really well.

Another top shot

Smoooooth.

comment by Mike at 10:30 PM (GMT) on 15 July, 2006

Wonderful colours and the reflections really make the image.

comment by Joseph at 11:18 PM (GMT) on 15 July, 2006

such beautiful cars =)
nice colors and composistion there.
I have to say though, that the grill looks pants

This looks like someone's wet dream... Very colourful for a chromasia shot. I like it.

This is great djn. It is encouraging to see you step out and do something a little different. It helps remind me to not get stuck doing the "comfortable" thing all the time.

For me this image is all about the gradient to the reflection. Then just when I thought I lost myself in the reflection I noticed the curves in the hood which gave such character to the reflection.

Great work.

i've just got back from an evening visit to blackpool (from huddersfield) . . . and looking through some of your photos again - you make blackpool look mostly lovely; i don't know how you manage it : )

Crazy reflections!!!

comment by Geoff at 01:43 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

As usual, your reflection work takes it to a higher level than just a shot of a car bonnet. Nice work.

comment by Dave at 01:47 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

I knew you would shoot & post a reflection shot...I knew!! I hope Little Kev didn't bite your ankles while you were at the meet..:~)

comment by Andy at 02:39 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

Ditto on the colors; definitely make the shot even better. Great shot!

Reflections are surprisingly clear.

comment by octiliniu at 03:29 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

very funny. :-)
my heart stopped for a second. like "what the hell ? "

I kinda grew up with TVR. it's the national television in Romania.
Their logo used to look pretty much like the one in your picture. :-)

comment by Mary at 04:51 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

Great shot. The colors are great and I like the reflections.

comment by Ali at 05:58 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

Beautiful shot.

comment by Louise at 08:26 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

Wow... I love pink... :)

comment by dacian at 09:32 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

hehe.. thee kind of picture i often take. naturally, i like it. good job!
but what's the point of having TVR written twice? i think it would have been better to frame it a bit higher.. to see maybe a bigger reflection?
a very good picture nevertheless

comment by manuel at 10:17 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

As others also have stated: The reflections make it quite perfect. Very nice!

comment by Aegir at 11:25 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

Yay! It's not a dark green beach!

(sorry, couldn't resist)

comment by lee at 11:31 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

oh yea, different, colour is great.

from what i can see you were going for a straight/ central composition, but dont you think it needs a slight rotation anticlockwise? looks a bit tilted, could be just me though, :)

comment by flawijn at 11:42 AM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

pretty flashy for a chromasia! the reflection is very cool...

comment by Paul at 12:03 PM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

Cool reflection shot, did you have to polish off all the drool?

comment by m a r i n u s at 12:28 PM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

nice PINK floyd effect in the reflection

comment by Sysagent at 06:14 PM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

This is a great and no doub't you could sell this to TVR for them to use I am sure...

comment by Craig Wilson at 07:06 PM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

Strong and vibrant colours! Nice shot.

comment by Jennifer at 08:56 PM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

A fantastic departure from the typical seascape!

comment by djn1 at 10:15 PM (GMT) on 16 July, 2006

Thanks all.

Dave: who's "Little Kev"?

Octiliniu: nope, in the UK TVR are definitely a company that makes sports cars ;-)

dacian: yes, I could have just focused on the bonnet, but I thought the grill was worth including too.

lee: yes, I've rotated the version that's up now.

Paul: no, there wasn't any drool, but I did have to clone out a few paint chips ;-)

comment by Crank at 03:36 AM (GMT) on 17 July, 2006

love the colour and the reflection...too bad you have to resort to advertising the brand on such a creative shot.

comment by navin harish at 07:58 AM (GMT) on 17 July, 2006

Lovel colour and great reflecton, would love to get behind the wheel.

comment by Crash at 05:58 PM (GMT) on 17 July, 2006
