Burnout 2

Pro Mod Camaro performing a burnout at the IHRA World Nationals.

Comments and guidance are greatly appreciated.

OK... first i'll tell you what I think is wrong, and then some ideas on how to fix it / avoid it in the future:

1) The picture is underexposed. When in a bright setting, try to overexpose by +1 stop, since some cameras tend to meter the light incorrectly.

2) The guy in the picture with the cut off head isn't helping. I wouldn't mind a person in the picture, but he's not facing the car and it takes away from the tension of the shot.

3) Well, the composition of the shot is lacking. You might have shown some surroundings, some people, something to frame the car in its environment.

Now... how to fix some stuff...

1) Adjust levels in photoshop.

2) Clone out the person.

3) Increased saturation and sharpness a little.

For future car shots, you might even try to stick lower to the ground - so to impose the size and menace of the powerfull beast.

Hope this helps, and here's a sample "mod" of your picture.
