What does /p/ think? The composition is so so, but I like the eerie atmosphere.

Really? The motif is correctly exposed.

I think OP said it best, mediocre composition, but the atmosphere is interesting, and the exposure works for that. So work on making the composition build the atmosphere.

This is the trunk of the car, it's looks totally messed up.

You really could do something about the lighting. In my opinion, a visible flash as the only source of light on any photo instantly ruins it. Makes it look all artificial. Doesn't create a scene, but more like "I was there with my camera, as you can see, and recorded this for you." These would do as proof for an insurance claim. Try and get external lights and learn how to use them. The subject looks like it could have a lot of potential for a good photo. I wish I had it.

I was going to use my external flash, but the battery failed me, which is a bummer since I just bough a diffuser.

But external light? Like, what should I use? Thanks for the comments.

Tripod + long exposure + painting with a flashlight might be interesting.

That's sounds like a plan. But I kinda like having the background pitch black, but a five, six seconds long exposure might do it?

This fellow is right. Here's what I did with two bikelights and a long exposure, myself. I practically never use the flash, because I haven't learned the art of using it as fill-in, yet.

5-6 seconds may well be too short for you to actually get good light over your subject. I mean, imagine running from A to B to C to D, switching your torch off in between within 6 seconds. Experiment. It would be a good idea to wear dark clothes yourself so you wouldn't appear on the shot and always leave the torch out of the shot. You could even wear black gloves and have a black card on hand to block light going directly from the source to the camera. But, if you can, light your subject from outside the frame and crouch down behind it as well, hiding yourself as well as your torch from the lens.

If not, you could always run arouns with a penlight or a few and leave streaks of light all over the exposure, which, of course, has its own artistic merits in certain shots.

If you can, get someone else to expose your subject with bulb setting, leaving the lens covered while you move from position to position. With a few trial runs you should be able to determine what works best and get a really impressive shot of your burnt out subject.

Alright, sounds cool! It will probably take a couple of shots to get it right, but what the hell, I'd love to make the best out of this wreckage! :D

This is one of the first shots I took with my camera. Kinda like "Oh wow, I have a camera. Let's see what this thing can do!" type of things.
