A perfect car shot, Robert. The background colours really make the shot. I like the 'line' along the body work, made by the sun / reflection. Well framed.

Robbert, ik hou van oude auto's en dit is wel een mooi exemplaar. De kleuren voor een sportwagen zijn subliem, de achtergrond past er wel perfect bij. Goede tekst. Mooie foto.

A great shot of a great car. The low angle highlight the elegancy of this car and the color is amazing. Wish I could take a ride..
Good job, Robbert.

Looks like a professional shot for the company's official catalog, Robbert (take that as a compliment!). And I think that shots of certain Italian sports cars (including this one) have to be red, not b&w ;-) Wonderful colors, and an appropriately low angle. And there's even some boats on the water behind! Nice shot.

Dear Robbert, wonderful contrast of grey, red and blue ! I don't see a difference to a Pro Photo. Send the pic to Maserati and wait and see what happens :) BTW the frame really adds to the picture.

Man what a fantastic looking car, I would love to hear its engine. I WANT ONE.... The angle that you used here is perfect in my opinion. Car shot are always better on taken from the ground. I tried a WS to see what it looks like in B&W but I dont like. The colors are just to awsome. So I did a small WS just to clean up some of the noise. Great photo Robbert and very good frame.

Great Shot of the car. I think this goes onto the wall of a guy's bedroom. The blue sky gives such contrast against the bright red.
