Lamborghini Reflections

I've tried a million times to get a good car reflection, but never successfully like this. The colors work extremely well to create a crisp and resplendent world.

This has a nice graphic quality to it. Obviously, the bold colors really sing, the blues being especially effective in offsetting the orange. The very geometric building takes on lovely contours as its reflection conforms to the curve of the car. Although it works colorwise, I find the background a little busy and casual compared to the formality and simplicity of the main subject. For me, the tree works, especially because it adds green, but the bit of gray car going by and the lower Talbots building don't have quite the presence of a great foil for the foreground.

Thanks, Jeff and Fred. As I was editing it, I toyed with the idea of blurring the background, but I did like the red Talbot's awnings and yellow logo. I probably agree in retrospect with the grey car, but at the time liked the implied contrast with the Lamborghini (and also with its red tail light). Thinking of doing something truly wild and abstract with this, or with another similar.

I love the orange & blue contrast . The reflection is also well placed in the corner, fitting into the car perfectly.

Very nicely composed with beautiful colours, Roger!

Wow.What a shot , Roger ! Rich colors and framing.

 

Best wishes

Glad to see you back, missed you....where to, have you disappeared ( there is a children song , go's like this: "Roger ,Roger, where have you been? , went to England to see the queen?...."lol)

 

I like the reflected surrounding on the car, makes a very gay composition! The sky blue adds a lot.

 

I wonder if the surrounding fits the Lamborghini....

Neat reflection ... superb colours - I want that car.

I love the pattern made by the twin reflections (glass and paint). The changing angle of the reflection on the glass is great. I think the owner of that vehicle has a full time job just keeping it shiny. Vibrant color. I wish the background was blurred more, I find it a little distracting.

Thanks everyone. Pnina, I think it's "Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been". I decided to take a bit of time off PN as I was becoming a bit jaded. I've also joined a "Creativity" group and am trying some new things. I may be trying a different and more surprising background on this one. May also have some weird fun with it.

Nice to hear from you Roger! Super reflection. Its so very graphical, from the windshield to the grill. Very cool!!
