I apologize for my harsh words. However, for the sake of photography, I would comment that the real car picture should have consistent depth of field to show the dynamics. I understand that one might want to chop the exposure and contrast to enhance the picture. However, when the picture in question was obviously taken by a wide angle lens, the background should be appropriately clear. By artificially eliminating the depth of field, blurring the background, one also eliminate the dimensional feel of a 14 feet long car.
In reality, the only natural pictures that would give you the same look as the photochopped product would be photographing a tiny toy car with a wide angle lens. Since the actual distance between the lens and the toy car is so short, the background would be entirely blurred.
So by duplicating that toy car look, I think the result is counter productive.
I will post some pics of a toy car to illustrate my point.

I know, I know. I don't remember posting the top one but I might have already.
I am fixing the 928 more than I drive it. I need to put on Mark's Eibach springs, Roger's vacuum lines and all AC actuator repair per Sir Dwayne's outstanding write ups, rewrap the cassette lid with new leather( the previous owner had some ugly stuck on cupholder ruining the leather), and many other stuffs that I bought on Rennlist. And then the car recently died because of some ignition problem.
I also bought a set of Champions RG5 19 inches wheels and the factory 18 inch thin 5 spokes wheels and still have not decided which ones to use. The current C4S twist wheels might look a bit chunky.
The 911 is having some cosmetic refresh that is my priority now since I want to sell it.
So bottomline is, I need to find a day to finish the job and detail the 928 for a few shots. God knows when?

FWIW the Euro version has a foglamp switch where the Odo reset is located,
so they put the reset on the underside of the pod opposite the intensive washer.
Note the intensive washer and the odo reset are the same switches
