Not great but i think my post process is starting to improve.



In lieu of my recent and very small amount of lessons learned, i would have raised my aperture just enough to get all the car in focus, and move the stupid stick. Also, for what ever reason i set my shutter speed at 1/25 using my 50mm. Would it have been better at 1/50th?

I should have manualy set my focus point after moving the stick as well
I like where you're going with original idea, More movement, more exaggerated movements, like a 100 mm prime make it look larger than life, these appear like toys-- I get it but make them appear more real use some nice lighting sunset, tungsten lighting shadows go blue add some nice effects
