Cool Full Serve - 12-11-2011, 01:35 PM

Critique: CC:

Full Serve


This was a difficult shot to get, I was limited by angle and the moon and clouds were not cooperating very much. After over an hour of attempts, I finally got the lighting I was after and the shot you see here.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!

How close to the ground was this taken from?

Thanks everyone.

Barta, this was about 2.5 ft I think... I was limited by a 10ft deer fence that I was shooting through, so it really dictated a lot more of the shot than I wanted.

I've shot this same place, but the car is new... so the owner must be keeping it up like that for a reason...
