Trying something different.
I had some free time this morning and thought I would try something different.
A black and white picture with the car the only thing in color, What do you think?

I think it's a cool pic. A red Corvette probably would have had a more dramatic effect against the black & white background as the Pewter sort of blends. The red accents look cool!

Might I suggest however, in this cabin shot, try one with ONLY the red areas being in color and the remainder of the car still B/W.
Also, to add a little "flavor", how about a pretty girl standing at the doorway/front porch of the cabin, ALSO in B/W with only her bright red lipstick in color with her looking at the car.
For example, something like the girl in the picture below, but without it being a close-up of her face of course. I'm sure you get the idea.

I think it's cool that the car is pewter. At first, the eyes are drawn to the red, then the thought hits you, "How 'bout that! The whole car is in color!" Were it not for those small details, one could believe the car was also in B/W. Great job!
