[QUOTE="hark, post: 419448, member: 13196"] First photo: as mentioned, I'd pull the speaker wire out of the way. If using flash, move the subject further away from the wall because there are harsh shadows created on the wall behind it. Possibly get a little lower and shoot it level rather than from slightly above. Second photo: I like this one better. As mentioned, move it away from the edge of the table. Had you done that, you may have gotten more reflection from the car on the table, but the reflection is cut off. Definitely like the fact that you don't have the harsh shadows in this as were in the first. Good first attempts. All of us have to start somewhere. If possible, can you reshoot the car--just move it back away from the edge but try to stay the same distance away as you did in this photo. And be sure to use the same lighting. Hopefully you will get another reflection. If so, try moving the image within your frame. By that I mean try having the dividing line of the reflection be smack across the middle of your photo then try it again having the line be 1/3 from the bottom of your image. Zoom, zoom. ;) [/QUOTE]
