1939 Buick Special

The new D300 is out of the box! Comments/critiques are welcome.

Nice image. I like the lines going into the lower corners, and the bright spot in the upper right corner gives a strong sense of direction. Nice bokeh as well.

 

There are two things that I personally would do different: First is the upper left corner. I'd desaturate it mostly and darken it a bit. As it is, it pulls me out of the frame. The second thing is entirely subjective: I would increase saturation. After all, this is a man-made oject, no landscape. Even when we overshoot, nobody will notice, but the bronze/violet color contrast is really nice.

Thank you Andreas, for your critique and suggestions. In most of what I shoot I try to be as true to the image I see as possible. There are those times when I step out and try something "artsy", sometimes for good and sometimes bad. With this shot, as soon as I converted the raw file to color, the subtleness of the blue-violet against the bronze just blew me away and I decided to leave as is.
