Being busy with my Beetle.
Strobist: 3/4 with softbox camera left.
Replaced the TL-light with an old school lamp, and removed the ugly bag on the left. Original pic is here.
I would like to know how to improve this picture, so tell me !

Mooie foto, zie dat je ook een vork heb toegevoegd, is de muur niet zo heel kaal...
lekkere sfeervolle foto van een legendarische auto...

Dankje. Ja inderdaad, ik wou geen lelijke plastic tas meer, maar dan krijg je zo'n grijs vlak. Dat heb ik dus geprobeerd op te vrolijken met een ouwerwetse hooivork :-).

Both are nice shots but I like this better. The old school light fits the beetle.

A little vignetting and some burning of the left hand side of the frame would probably do the trick.

Being a gearhead, I'd like to see a snooted light on the engine bay, maybe. Nice shot, though.

Cool, I have that too. No sempahores.
Quite rare isn't it ? Very cool though.

Love this. I spent my college years in exactly this spot. Only it was a 66. Only thing that could improve it? Make it a Type 2!!
;-)
Failing that, maybe just add more props/tools arranged around the engine bay on the floor. Spanners, sockets, air hose etc IE more detail. Then dodge and burn as suggested above.

@ NZpablo: thanks for your tips man ! Wouldn't make the picture too busy, but the art is to be subtle. Will surely think about it next time I make a picture.
