While all of them are super cool, most of them wash out your car and make it minimal in the pictures. The FPC one most are choosing really allows your car to stand out and makes the image behind it complementary and not primary.

I agree, the background is more of the focus of your pictures and not your car. It should be your car.

Here is a quick crop of one of your pics. It focuses much more on your car and not the buildings. The building adds to your cars comp.

Nice pics. Got any more info about the car? It's not everyday you see a 1G soft top.

Love your car man, but I feel the backgrounds distract.

I do like the idea though. Hopefully there's a better angle to be had.

And this improves the issue, but doesn't eliminate it. There's too much saturation of color in the background which really detracts from the car, IMHO. The angle the shot was taken at hinders your car being the main attraction, too, which is another reason I still like the FPC one.

^^^ what they said...perhaps another location is in order?!?

Agreed, too much background noise, even cropped. That car deserves to stand out.

I'll go cry myself to sleep now you big bullies..ha!
yeah, there is a lot going on for sure.. those murals are special to me, I was there watching in July when the dudes from europe were hear painting them. Maybe I'll get some pics a different spot

Josh, the murals in the background are okay, as long as they are not the focus. I understand why you were trying to get the entire mural in the photo, but I think if you took more of a close up of the car, and only had a portion of the mural in the background, it could work.

Josh, the side view of the car doesn't give the car any dimension, it could be painted on the wall for all anyone would know. If you had angled the car a little and turned the front wheels to add some depth to the car, it would stand out from the background.
