Great shot - very crisp! Is this 'au naturel' or have you tweaked in post processing?

shot in RAW, just cropped and sharpened.

The lens is white not black, that makes a difference

Nice...

Nice picture that, taz

taz that really is a nice pic!
Is there a slight use of hdr? what sort of camera did you use?

Is it me or does it look like your hiding a tonne of bricks under the bonnet as the front looks lower  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Taking the trouble to remove the number plate but not the tax disc (or whatever it is) spoils the showroom value. Do think that if it really was to be a showroom brochure pic, then "they" may have "flashed" the underside of the vehicle. Otherwise a very nice photo that any owner would be proud to hang on their wall.  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

No bricks!! here is the car in the same position but from the side, the previous photo was with a zoom lens, it makes the car look a little hunched up, it compresses the perspective. The car was sat in a dip too which makes it look lower.

Hi D99, its an EOS 40D with 70-200f4L

No HDR, may have increased shadow detail a little which may be the reason it looks HDR. The difference in lenses is huge, the side on picture was not with an L lens, still an expensive lens £500 but the difference in quality is marked. Expensive hobby, why I bought a GS and not a HSE
