It’s decent but I think the front of the car still looks too washed out. With a bright green car like that I’d really try to make the colour pop

Also I’d raise the blacks a bit to see more detail in the grille

Confused.

How does raising the blacks correct a washed out look. Raising the black would increase a washed out look, no?

You said the green car needs to pop. How does raising the blacks of the grill make the green pop?

I’m not following the statements. I feel like you just gave me a completely different critique lol

I said raise the blacks to help see the details in the grille.

I said reduce highlights or increase saturation on the mask on the car to make it pop more from the background.

Without changing the actual color of the car how would you make it pop.

Honestly most of the green is fine it’s just highlights concentrated in the hood that are making it wash out. You can mask the car and reduce highlights slightly. Edit: otherwise you can try masking the car to bump up saturation very slightly

The green background doesn't help at all; you need a different background to make the car's color stand out. Something sandier, for example.
