Got a chance of winning an SLK for the weekend in a dealer photo competition.

Took 3 photo's tonight, which one should I enter? One, Two, or Three.

Yeh. If No.3 wasn't so over exposed on the car, I would have put it in, but the bright sun has washed out the lines :(
 
I voted #1 its a dealer thing so more about the car and not the landscape! And the first shot captures it all well....IMO

Tony.
 
Really appreciate the feedback guys, I'd love to have an SLK for the weekend!
 
With the car being white its a bit lost against the pale background,shoot it against a darker backdrop the boost the car in post.
 
No 1.........its about the car......not the pretty landscape, business is business ;)

If you have the files in RAW format depending upon what they are like on your computer (rather than in here viewed on an uncontrolled web page) you might want to tone down the highlights a bit as you have lost detail in the panel contours.

Also tidy up all the bits along the shoreline....looks like a lifebelt box or something on the left and some odds and ends on the right. Oh yes, and get rid of that "manhole cover" by the back wheel.

You guys are right, with it being a deal compy, it is about the car, however the theme was to be a landmark, or scene, so that's why I chose the wide angle; it's the Firth of Forth from Fife back across to Edinburgh, where the dealer is.
 
For me its number 1, as the car would need to feature heavily for such a competition. Plus playing around with it too much digitally could make the picture look fake.
 
The competition won't be to take a car picture, it will be to project a lifestyle, that's why No2 works best in my opinion.

Every car nerd in Scotland will be taking pictures of headlamps or wheel-nuts.

LOL.

Surprisingly, there's only one entry published so far. When I put mine up on their facebook page hopefully I can count on you guys for some votes :)
