Yeah you're right, it does look better with a black background.

Its a good shot, but personally, its not in the same league as the one you posted yesterday. That shot was amazing

The desatuated surroundings make the car look even more impressive. I don't see any doors. How did they get in?

Impressive shot and an amazing post processing. Very clever! This is for me the best shot of this serie.

wow great photo

I feel like "she" is posing for Chromasia ; -)
Great shot !

Fantastic colors, looks a bit like a superheroes car, f.e. the batmobile

I think I hate you! :-)

You are too bloody good with this post processing stuff!

Nice car, sweet composition, nice car... damn... ;)

Wow that is a sweet piece of machinery. I'm jealous that you got to see it in person.

The way you have alienated the car from the rest of the shot is the magnificent part in this photo. I love the color one they have going here, it's unreal. Nice work on the background. I think the car was posing for you as well..hehe.

I always thought when I was young that a sports car was special. That all of the power was produced by something beyond a normal petrol engine. Now of course it is pretty safe to say that, they go faster because their engines are bigger (yes, yes, and gear boxes, transferance of power etc but still, essentially engine size). Then you read that such a car does three miles to a gallon. For me, especially in this day and age of carbon concerns global warming and the legacy we will be leaving for our /your children. The engineering of such powerful machines (I include all forms of transport there) our engineering seems very dated, especially when there are so many other forms of alternatively powered transport (I exclude electric powered cars, unless we do go nuclear; where do these manufacturers think the electricity for the batteries comes from, the etha?).

Takes the sheen off it all really.

Wwwwwwwow. Amazing shot. To capture that car AND to have it against a great backdrop...that's incredible. If you did't already answer this...was there something going on or did the car just happen to be parked there out of the blue?

I need to get some automotive photography going on my site. Awesome stuff.

Just perfect. To find a car like this at such beautiful place and have the camera with you is scifi. How did you manage?

oh great! you've personified the car.. like a fiery, yet graceful lady, she strolls near the sea...

Were you good at coloring in the lines with crayons as a kid? Great job separating the car from the background.

I think the extra color tone of the background works well in supporting the red color of the car. Pure B&W grey tones would not have had the same feel.

Just awesome!

Hey, this looks like it's a self-portrait as well. ;-)

impresive, amazin. the color , the clearness, the light, the perspective, the composition, everything...Bravo!!! And if you are the one there is a great selportrait.

I am glad you decided to post this one as this is the best image of the lot and it fulfill all the requirements, an image in Chromasia style and captured in context (of being held in Blackpool). Other than that I like this image because I can see the entire car in this shot and can truly admire it. The colour treatment is also just perfect. It also reminds me of a friend of mine who would have said after a look at this car "Nice car to pick up chicks"

soy de chile

saludos desde chile

adios

Wow! This is deffinitly a cool car, and u had successfully used it to create your cool shot! I love it!! I would be great to hang this shot at home. :)

Sooo cool! the red with the alsmost desaturated background...
Awesome processing man!!!

Ah yeah! The Cerbera Seed 12. Great looking car, and great looking shot. I think the selective colouring works well here, and that b+w looks real good. The same goes for the composition with that pier in the background. Just a little shame that you are reflected in the car :)

Any famous drivers there? You said there might be a speed demonstration or such?

What a beast. I almost expect the next shot is the rear view with fire coming out the back and two guys with capes on driving away, off to save Gotham city.

great car...cool desing..nice postprocessing for the rest, the light is great

Will Maria be on the panel? Seems to be immediate bias there. ;)

Haven't seen one of those in a long time. What a car! Sublime photo, and possibly the best photo I've seen of one of these cars, which is saying a lot cause the car is so dramatic in itself. TVR do some great colours for their motors too. Sweet.
As for the lad who asked about the doors...I think you can see the panel gap for the back edge of the door leading up form the top right of the rear wheel.
And yes, it would make an outstanding Batmobile...though he'd have fair trouble keeping it on the straight and narrow :)
Ahhh, what a car.

Ooohhh mama! What a car, what a shot!

Awesome picture, great processing here, car looks perfect, background is really attractive too.

I bet the sound is incredible, i have only seen one of these in the factory half built, absolutely amazing machine.

Interesting image and car. Too bad the colour of the car only comes through due to the effects you put on the rest of the shot. Was it a bad wax job or could you have really made that colour pop a bit more?

Desaturation of background colours works perfectly here. It's really one monster of a car!

So you like cars... I like your photos!

Nice effect on the sky - impressive car!

yea, cool car.

whoohooo. THAT is a car!

it's very impressive. you have captured the beauty of this car. did you use any polarized filter to reduce the reflection?

Now that is one sweet ride. Very powerful colour. Great capture. Kudos!

this realy is a super photo of a real supercar, i want one on my bedroom wall and i'm 43! excelent.

Whilst not as cool a picture as the 1st and 3rd tvr pics it's na awesome looking car and deserving of it's chromasia moment. At 3mpg did it arrive on a trailer?

Uh oh...I think I see someone in the bumper reflection! - Bad chromasia! Bad!

Lol...even with your reflection in it, it's still a great shot!

ouch. i love everything about the photo and the car. amazing colours.

I think your reflection (I'm assuming that's you) needs to go, if possible. Otherwise it's pretty much perfect.

i think that the amazing-ness of the car and the crazy red distracted everyone from the reflection of you in the car. otherwise a cool photo

TVR's.... my ideal car!

Stunning, I would have been very proud of this shot had it been one of mine. The editing is excellent too, really makes it stand out, should be in Top Gear magazine!

I adore TVR and this shot brings the dynamic design to life even with such a rough around the edges racer like this. It's not difficult to make a TVR look good but you've definately got a talent.
