New Look Exige
I was bored the other day, and thought I'd try to work up the logo to my Dad's company out in AZ. Turned out pretty good, and I happened to be driving the Exige.. Let me know what you think. :) (Constructive Crticism is welcome, I do want to get better.)

My personal opinion, as in what I'd do. Not a critique.
I'd add something, probably a white, very slight highlite somewhere, to break up the greys and tie into the logo back shading.
Even something as simple as copying the checker flag motif, and pasting under it in white with ever so slight shiting of position to give the checker depth?
But as I said, not a critique, just a direction I'd go in.
Also, maybe a view from the sunnier side of the car would bring out the paint a little better.Might be why I'm wanting more white...
Feel free to tell me to go take a leap...
I looked at it on the sunny side, and it looked terrible for a photo, mostly because the glare off the paint caused you to lose the color and detail of the vinyls. I'll have to change my homespace and take another pic, but I can see what you're talking about, and it would bring something else to it for depth.
Updated Livery, and I want to say thanks to whoever out there actually bought this livery off my SF.. I just put the stuff up there to see what happens, not trying to really make anything off this. :)
Love it, mean it!
I'll be looking for that...
Nice job hat. Looks good. It's hard getting good photos of dark colored cars.
Thanks. I wish there was a homespace that didn't have crappy point light sources so you can just get a good feel for the color and feel of a pain job.
don't be afraid to experiment with the advanced photo optios (brightness, contrast, exposure, etc.) They can make a big difference. I usually crank up my brightness a couple of notches when shooting darker cars. It'll help bring a little more detail out.
I actually tweaked this one, Played with some stuff, and brought out more of the green. I'll keep experimenting, but I think I'm going to leave this one as-is.
I'll send it over tonight. :)
Looking good fella!
Thanks!
