Good lighting, but the focal blur is overkill, leave it out and I think it'll be a good pic

Yeah, it looks like a toy, the silly effect you get from Tilt Shift, or just fake blur. I'd want a car photo to make the car look big and proud.

Not sure about the blurring but the location and the car in my opinion match up pretty well. Maybe it's just me but there seems to be a bit of an orange colour cast over the scene (not sure if that was post processing or incorrect light balance).

Overall I like it, but my eyes keep drifting over to the "B2" sign.
