sunset: Aston Martin DB9

[Redsteel]

First of all, many thanks to Mandun for the car model.

I wanted to try something a little darker and see how the materials react without the typical bright, clear light.

I would go back to the typical bright clear look. This is looking very dull. JMHO.

[Redsteel]

Don't worry EGON, that's the point of posting the image. So, in order to improve the image, why dull?

[Dylan]

I think it looks okay. Maybe play with the colour saturation of the backdrop a bit, or crop closer into the car. The gaps around the edge of the door look inconsistent in that image, you might need to tighten the gap a bit at the doors rear edge.

[EGON]

It looks flat and mushy. Look at the shadow around the hood opposite the tires.See what I mean? The shadows and highlights just don't look flattering to me. This kind of look takes a lot of work. Look at the one I found on the internet. To me this looks good. Hope this helps.

I think part of the problem is that the colour tinting etc has been added after the render is done? Could be why the car is lost in the image a bit.

Cheers!

That could be it. Lets see now.
