Never claimed to make my living as a photographer. Luckily what I do pays infinitely better.

They didn't mean this photo sucked on a professional level. This photo sucks even on amateur level dude so, making a living is out of question, we are questioning your basic photographer skills next time try to take one closer than 1 mile to a car. Your buddy lied to you.

Dude, really who gives a fuck? I wasn't trying to feature any particular aspect of the car just that it appeared to be floating in the trees and thought that looked kind of cool. Will refrain from sharing in the future, you guys are brutal!

may not be the best photo, yet it shows the contrast between roof and the detail line down the quarter panels better then any pro has done.

Useful photograph. I always find myself thinking, "Please back away from the automobile" when looking at other offerings. Awesome car, love this color.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I agree it's tough to strike a balance between featuring the car up close and showing it "in a natural setting" so to speak. Really love the car. For those making purchase decisions sight-unseen it helps to see lots of different angles, lighting, etc when choosing color anyway.

I didn't want to get any closer or he'd have noticed my key doesn't quite match the calipers, let alone the paint.

C'mon people...Can't we all just get along, without feelings getting hurt?

OP, you are a solid fella, you have a terrific ride. It's classy, great choice of int/ext colors, and the photo you posted sucks.

You got puddles in focus with high contrast (that's what attracts the eye) the car is matchbox size, composition is haphazard....

I've made all those mistakes, many times! Hell, it's the only way to learn. I've joined photo forums, spent some dough on photo gear, read some photo books and I still suck. Not as much as you though.


Lets just laugh about it.

Perhaps online etiquette course should be mandatory for such personal interactions.

So, since I have US passport too, should I not call myself a foreigner? Or should you not call me such? i am still Russian. Calling yourself an American is claiming no roots and no history. It is a country of "foreigners"
