Why?

Your rear is lower than the front?

Maybe you took the picture from too high up. Cars rarely look good from a high vantage point. Also, the background composition is pretty weak. Might have been more interesting if you'd included the road at the right off into the distance.

Maybe because the rear wheels are sunk underneath the fender?

The color doesnt match your eyes and you cant find the right shade of contacts?

What are the specs on those wheels? I like them a lot! Btw, didn't you just get *another* set of BLING BLING wheels delivered to you a month or two ago??????

Try taking the same picture but at knee level. Compare the difference and i think you'll find the lower angle is more pleasing to the eyes.

Well, like others have said, it's from too high an angle, the background is a bit washed out and not composed really well, but I think the biggest problem is the reflection on the car. Makes it look dirty or something. I think a polarizer would fix a lot of the problems.

like everyone else has said you took it from too high and also its shrunk too much which took a lot of the detail away from the car. plus it looks like it was a bright day and everything just reflects off shiny paint on sunny days. i just recently bought a polarizer and it made a huge difference. it took most of the reflections out while showing the deepness of the blue in the shot....take a lower shot from say your waist or knee level and you'll notice a difference...i'll be up there next weekend, we'll work on it
