Land Rover in desert

Thank you all, who took your time and made some comments on my first post one month ago. Your nice words encouraged me to make another attempt. Any comments are appreciated.

That is great work Sven-Ingvar.

The only tiny thing that i think stands out for me is the wheel rims.

I don't know what it is, but they stand out compared to the rest of the car, it as if they don't seem true, unlike the rest of the car which does. I think it is because i know that land rovers have silver rims and that could it what it is ?

But as i said it is only a tiny thing.

I'm happy with the wheels.
Maybe the headlights bother me a little, but apart from that's 'tis a decent drawing and it makes a good picture.

I like the mood of it which is reminiscent of Sally's Serengenti Dreams.

Excellent work. Now as you continue in your endeavors, you'll become dissatisfied with your current work, because you'll see where you can do even better. You'll get to the point, if that's your goal, to where you'll be researching close up shots of various parts just to satisfy yourself.
Your doing great.

Great work. Simple enough and eye candy. I like it.

Looks good to me... a lot better than decent by my standards.

Very Nice Land Rover!
I really like the lighting and the background. I can feel the heat !

Great work, Joscari.

A little bit constructive criticism (if you like):



I'm not sure how to solve that. Perhaps, it's a good idea to remove the sun in the background?

The lighting on the side; if you reverse where the highlight is, so that the highlight is brighter in the back than in the front, then it will most likely solve any inaccuracy of lighting source. When there is a glare coming from behind, if it was a case of taking a picture by camera, would often have a lens flare for this. But to most people the design works and having the front corner bright, makes the left front wing or fender will seem closest to the viewer. So a combination of effects might work. Possibly just to brighten the edge of the profile on the leading edge of the sunlight, with a lens flare cast from behind, such as when you see planets in front of the sun, the burst of light is behind the planet. Could have a play with it. However, to most viewers, they will not see a single thing about it they'd change.

If you have a job you are doing for a client, they may want the clarity on the vehicle and not the sunlight caused lens flare. This was my initial reaction, that I'd seek to please the client. So in such a case, I'd have done the lighting no differently. This is where artistic license comes in to play. We can go beyond the camera to render clarity where little would exist with a camera.

Like the angle and the drama of the picture.

It is indeed the "new ship of the desert".

Well done.
