One of those 6 shots had the side of the car lit, but I accidentally left a light trail with my flashlight (you can see it on the door). I tried to clone it out, but I'm not skilled enough with that tool to pull it off. So I just underexposed it to make it less noticeable. I wish I would've caught that when I was shooting! I'll learn from my mistakes and won't let that happen next time
The size is right now and it looks way better than at 100%. As an internet size it works pretty good, but that right side of the car is loaded with noise. That particular camera may not be too great at high ISOs needed for this shot. This is really a tough shot, with extreme dynamic range, so it's hard to do it and not get noise in the dark area. I think that off-camera flash on the right side of the car would have been a better option.

Another option might have been a long exposure, with light painting and then turn that bright overhead light on for a very short while. You needed to take eight or ten different exposures, playing with ISO and your lights.

That's the way you learn. Keep it up.
