Any chance you're using Chrome? I use Chrome and recently I've noticed that the way it shows photos has changed. They are much darker and more contrasty now. I do not like it. The photo I posted above is a good example. In Chrome the side and front of the car look completely black. In IE, Firefox, Windows Explorer, Photoshop, etc. it looks fine. You can still see all the details in the dark areas. Anyone else notice this? Any idea how to change it back?

I use Chrome as well. Sometimes I re edit a photo 2 or 3 times because it looks different after I upload it. It drives me nuts

I think the FD profile is better simply because of the darkened street and trees, but be careful not to darken them too much so they look uneven. The top right corner of the frame is a lot darker than the rest. I also tend to not like wide crops like this overall, especially when it's a profile shot that's just centered in the frame. If you're going to center it, I'd say you go with a tight crop instead of a wide one.

I agree with these two critiques. On top of that, the horizon isn't level and honestly it's just a car parked next to a sidewalk, so there's only so much you can do to make it look good.

Took down the orange and increased exposure? Good now?

I used the adjustment brush and desaturated the pole. The exposure looked spot on to me before my adjustment. Maybe it's my computer that's deceiving?

One other thing I just noticed is that it seems like the car is leaning toward the right a tiny bit. |

Or how about I just get rid of the pole? I think the car is perfectly level here. Lowered the exposure a little too.

Even better! You've got yourself pretty close to a winner here. Since I'm being extra picky, you've also got a reflection on the driver's side rear windows that could've been polarized or still can be completely removed, depending on how far you want to go with this photo. It's already good as it is though.

It's actually a reflection of a box truck now that I look at it. I don't think I have the skill to remove that.

It wouldn't be easy. Best way would be to mask out where the reflection is, then fill it in with the rest of window that has no reflection. You can do that by cloning, matching the color and just filling it, using a separate layer with a different blending mode...multiple ways to accomplish it, but still not easy.

I only have Lightroom4 at the moment so that's not gonna happen. I guess this photo is done with. I'm pretty happy with it though even though it isn't that exciting. Thanks for all the advice like always.

Guys I'm buying my 1st lens for sony a77 what should I go for?
35mm f1.4, 50mm f1.4 or 85mm f1.4 Not only for car photography, I just want the best that can help in almost all casese (oh and DoF is important too thats why I'm leaning for 85mm mostly) any comparation photos? |

Overcast and a parking lot equals good things for silver cars...I could have done multiple polarizations to get the rear window too...but I didn't.

DOF looks great, but I don't like how it looks to be getting a little darker on the front side of the car. I also don't like how the car is centered horizontally and I'm not sure if I like that much grey foreground in the photo. I'd probably get a little lower in elevation as well.
