You are shooting into the sun. Details are lost.

Not too bad.

The composition is okay, but your lighting is bad.
Try to avoid taking pictures of your subject in heavy shadows or at sunset.

You need to use a photo editing program to lighten up the shadows.

Either my monitor is screwed up or you made the picture look worse.

Hmmm….

Don’t know. The original viewed on my monitor is so dark I can’t make out much of a contrast. Could be either your monitor’s contrast is too much or mine not enough.

I just did a quick adjustment to the photo to make a point. I didn’t mean mine was better.

yea i just dug it cause of the subjects the colors of the opposing cars, but yea those wheels belong on some pos suv not a z they're awful, but i did jusy run accross the walking down the street in the rain and it's a camera phone pic so i think it's not bad all things considered.
i guess i could edit in new nice wheels though
