Thanks!
I redid it a few times before I was happy. It's a lot of RAW tweaking and also HDR. Nine exposures I believe. I also used a polarizer on the lens. I was shooting a band and they wanted the picture in front of one of their Mustangs. I had to get a few shots since it's one of my favorite cars.

Now if only I could find someone who owns the Batmobile from 1989!

Also try shooting at a lower f-stop if you can. The further you can get away from the background and lower the aperture, the better. I'm about to set up another little tabletop studio so if it works out, I'll post a pic of it. I'm terrible with the controlled light thing.
