I regarded this as simply a challenge to capture a picture with some nice colors and contrasts. It looks deceptively simple, thanks to layers. I know of no other way to do a shot like this.

PS - There's a couple of little hot pink spots on the inner door panel that I didn't notice 'til now, or I'd have cloned them out. Is that some sort of sensor flaw? I don't see these on every exposure but I've definitely seen them a few times.

I had to enlarge to see the spots. They did not distract me or my wife (who has better color perception than I do). I liked the subject and the treatment. These restored cars are a favorite subject of mine and I have some to post at a later date.

Do you have any idea what causes that? They're not visible in every shot but occasionally I can see that phenomena in other pics. I am not sure if they consistently occur at the same X and Y axes or randomly. The camera body is pretty new & hasn't been used all that much.

One thing I would consider is refraction. Did you use lens hood? I have read digital cameras are very sensitive to light entering at the wrong angle. If it shows up in a lot of photos then you have to test all the variables. Is it lens or lighting or does the sensor have flaw (like an lcd with dead pixels) etc. Also I sometimes see flaws after processing like opening the shadows. Can you look at the original -Raw. If you shoot jpg the camera may have flaw in its process. If you have a raw photo still on the card can your computer covert that to jpg.

Hey ain't tech fun.

PS I still like the photo & pixel peeping can grow hair on your hands..
