Always.

It was just one of those reflections that wasn't going anywhere. Too difficult to recreate the interior and remove in PS as well.

Understood. I wonder if rolling down the window and taking a shot and then splicing that in with a light clipping mask with a reduced fill/opacity would work. Then again, I'm no professional.

The reflection doesn't bother me - I think it looks genuine. Then again, I'm not looking at the window anyway. I'm looking at the rest of the beautiful car.

Care to share any details about the photoshoot? Were you approached? I enjoy hearing your stories.

Yea, that could possibly work. I'm not sure it would visually make that big of an impact though. It was a friends shoot for his company. He invited me out to get some stuff for my portfolio...so basically I was just a fly on the wall with a camera. Looooong day of shooting...did a Carrera GT and 993 TT before ending up at this house!

I'm normally not a fan of black wheels but this 5.0 looks pretty sinister.

race Viper.

Something about the back end of the AMG GT doesn't flow for me. I don't know if the tail lights are too big or something...

I hear you man - it's something I've grappled with too - and lost. It's like something's missing from the rear. The bumper looks too exposed? I am mostly confident MB will resolve this issue with the Black Series, assuming they make one. It's weird but even with the SLS Black Series, that car makes the regular SLS look "empty" to me. A lot of 458's looking boss at the race btw, stay tuned.

On the flip side, at least he's not giving me door dings

Another thing I noticed right away - look how LONG the M6 is compared to the S2000

Our front bumpers were right around the same distance away from the parking curb.
