It sure looks nice, but I find the picture hard to believe. Where is the left rear wheel resting? Why do we have these light on the car if it is on a desert road?

Of course, it is a photoshop paste in desert picture and the car has never left a clean photo studio. There is not even a hint of dust on the tires. But then: why this particular landscape?

It really was in the desert, and that's the real light. I don't know why some people expect cars to be so dusty in the desert. Perhaps you've never spent time in the middle east? The reality is that the dust falls off the car easily, even the tires. Cars look pretty clean here.

Graham,

I think the disparity in perceptions comes from the fact that most such pictures are simply constructions or the result of the work of large teams with a battery of lighting gear.

In your picture, what also makes it interesting fro the eye is the contrast and perfect definition in the machine compared to the softness of the sandy landscape.

Still, knowing you, I never asked if it was real or not! But otherwise, like Jerome, I'd have questioned it too.

Jerome was referring to the left rear wheel, the one on the crop is the right rear wheel.
However, I never doubted that the image was the real thing.
