For this photo. Maybe a CPL for the windshield if not using one. Cleaning up random paint chips would be the next thing (the yellow statute and along the outer wall). Could also utilize some of Lightrooms more AI-rich presets and do some further sky modifications to bring out a bit more blue.

But I like it as is tbh.

Thanks! I do have and used a CPL. Maybe mine sucks or something as Im able to change what areas of the car have a reflection, vs being able to completely remove them.

This is the raw photo which will give you an idea of what i did in LR:

If it interests you, I'd love to take a stab at editing the raw? I have a darker persona with editing and may show a different image?

The focus seems a bit soft. But heres my take. Subtle pink/red in the sky and some color grading to help that gorgeous green stand out. Could even stand to up the exposure .2 levels just on the car to really make the car pop out more.

Thanks for the edit! Im using a very old camera (got it for free so no complaints) and the lenses i have for it arent great. Going to upgrade soon, was hoping for a BF deal but no luck.

No Problem. I'm always down to provide a different spin on things if you hit a creativity block.

What're you shooting with now?(Body and lenses). If budget allows, I cannot recommend the Sony A7iii or iv enough. I use it with a Sigma 85mm f1.4 and this thing is tack sharp.

Its a Fuji XT10, with about 8 lenses. Bought it for my wife many years back as she wanted to get into photography, but she maybe uses it like 4 times a year, so Im borrowing it to learn. This was with a lower end Fuji zoom lens, something like a 18-55. Im planning on grabbing a Fuji X-S20 to stay in brand so the wife and I can swap lenses. Ive got a few fuji and sigmas on my list.
