Silver Reflections, a photo from Hamburg, Ouest

Photographer's Note

As I had luck yesterday to run into the press shooting for the German Touring Car (DTM) season presentation I took my chance to take this close up. In the reflection you can see the tower of the Hamburg Town Hall as all took place on the Town Hall Square.

Please take a look at the other pictures here:
#1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7

Post Processing in PS6: Just Autolevels and unsharp mask.

The headlight looks like frosted ice, and I like the silver shine. I think it would look even better without the sponsorship making it look more abstract.... maybe a different crop.

Great detail photo Jan. When i saw the tumbnail i think it's a guitar detail :).

Great composition and well done

Well chosen angle and a bold crop. The textures of the polishedd surfaces are great too. Very well done!

A good entry into your DTM miniseries, Jan. Great glittering silver paint, and I like how the people are reflected in the kidney-shaped headlight. Fine geometry created by the lines and shapes of the Mercedes exterior. Very well captured.

good shot of the car and great capture of the people off of the car too, well done

Beautiful detail of this car with aluminium well rendered. Reflections are well captured. A very good shot of a design part of this car.

Great detail. The smoothness of the metal is beautiful. It's very nice with the lines running through it. Very pure and naked looking like no paint is there at all. The grill makes a nice corner and the reflection on it is really impressive. I really like the hint of light it gives. And also the way the light really highlights the soft curves of the other areas of this front corner is great. Very nicely seen and photographed.

The brushed finish is magnificent.
Beautiful. I like the way you framed it and captured reflections ( other photographers? )on the headlight.
Good Shot!

I'm a car freak so you should put these in a german car or mercedes theme or travelouge to germany. the reflections are interesting. they look like ghosts

Good use of the text as a frame. The reflections are nice too. The guitar shape is an added bonus.
