Hi Nik, Nice image, I like the angle that you choose, although I would have had a go at cloning out the vehicle to the left as I'm sure that there is enough trees there to clone in and grass from the right of the image.

Hi Nik,
I do like this, the Sepia has worked well.
Like the low angle, composition,great DOP.
You have captured some great flections in the cars paintwork.
Not thinking much about the cars on the left, think it would look better with all that cloned out.
All the best
Paul

Hi Nik,
I also like the sepia effect. I gave it a quick go at the cloning as mentioned. It does look a lot better in a stand alone situation.
