I think it needs half a stop more exposure Kris, although it may just be this monitor at work. :?

Very nice Kris, my absolute favourite car at the moment (hardtop), love the way you can always see the motor. I think your colour is a bit off, doesn't seem Ferrari red to me.

Yup, i agree with MCWB.
The background is a bit dark...or it could also be my monitor ^^
Nice work/car! :D

Hey it would look good in my shed, LOL but yeh good pic. I think it looks ok and not always the best of places to get pictures.

I've got the RAW file, I could add that stop no?

Red not deep enough? hm

What is the recommended color space I should be using in the camera and Photoshop? or does this not matter?

Reflected light from the red caused by the lighting will cause colour shifts - this is where the ”art” of PP’ing helps in this digital age.

Beautiful car and pic :D

Still looks a bit orange on my monitor. Perhaps I should get a better monitor !!! That said, the lighting at the show was a wild mix of lights that looked great to the eyes but ordinary on camera

I also had trouble getting near some cars so they all got cropped very tight.....

Hey Kris,
I think the photo is fantastic.
I actually like the first (slightly darker) image myself, it makes the background less distracting.
Both versions are really good though.
Well captured especially in those conditions.
