The "focal point" was more about the lightning. I've taken plenty of pictures of my car, and understand the rule of thirds in photography.

It's the editing. Like I said, I was only able to get a couple of shots, and these two were the best...but not great.

Both shots were 8 second exposures.

Very nice. Looks awesome.

if you have photoshop try taking the original of the second image, duplicate the layer, image > adjust shadow highlight to reduce shadows on the whole layer, then quick mask it to only show reduced shadow on your car. That should keep the entire image theme while bringing your car out slightly. Then maybe do an S curve on the original layer. I think it could look pretty amazing.

I don't understand the "hate" on these pics...they're downright badass.

The house in the back under the lightning (I'm presuming haunted based on the shot) sent it's minion Black Stang to do it's bidding and collect souls.

I love your car in the first picture. With the blue, purple, and red sky in the background. Looks very trippy and serene IMO!

Exactly. I know its hard for some to understand but its not always just about the mustang in a picture. Sometimes the car is just an accent to the overall photo.

I just looked at this again on my home monitor (way better than work monitor) and I can see everything in the pics way better. So depending on your monitor the pics can look either too dark or really nice.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I really do like the "feel" of these. They aren't your every-day "here's my Mustang" photos. Kinda cool for 15 minutes before the rain with a tri-pod and without my glasses on. Lightning shots don't happen often, and you have to act quick, because the storm usually passes fast.
