Nice 356. You still have time to change the spelling of the title.
In Photo Analysis you are to ask for help in one specific area that you think you need help in. Since you didn't ask I'll see if I can help.
1) the photo badly needs to be straightened.
2) the whites on the car are blown out
3) it is over processed
4) it is out of focus or maybe you wanted it 'soft'
These are all easy fixes. If you have a field quide for you camera I'm sure you will find the solutions

I'm guessing that it is a picture of a picture, but it could still be over-processed.

Not sure your criticism is fair on this point. Look at the tree trunk on the right side; it's upright at a natural angle. If the photo is straightened to level out the road, that tree is going to be slanting to the left. Seems to me far more likely that the car is going up an incline and that the picture is indeed level.
What bothers me is the woman on the hill. She seems disproportionately large compared to other objects in the image.

I agree with you on both points and those items are just a couple of reasons I think the image is a picture of a billboard or something like that, it just doesn't look real to me. Just my opinion, I could easily be wrong.

taken at Porsche show
Your bracketing seems to be wrong. The subject was almost off the left side. Nice model, from what little I can see.
The shot was exactly how i saw it.. the car was going up hill and a lady was at the top sitting. It’s just my style on processing. it’s not for everyone.
It was taken at a very hilly golf course so it was taken exactly how i saw it.

I think you missed my point. I was referring to the other photogenic object in the picture. I'm not sure I saw the porch.

Koratcat is on target. Objects in the photo that should be vertical are such. No straightening is needed or expected.
Any picture of a 356 is a good picture. Thanks.
A note of interest. The last REAL Porsche was made in 1965 and it was a 356. Prior to 1966 the only reason you could own a Porsche was because the profits from making them were used to fund the Porsche Racing Team. One mechanic built the engine and you could write to the factory and get the specs from the mechanic's notebook. In 1966 it was all assembly line and the Porsche Racing Team's purpose was to help sell cars. Now they even make sedans and SUV's. Are pickup trucks next?

This is in the Photo Gallery, not Photo Analysis.
1) the car is on a slope. Note that the foreground tree is vertical
2) my thinking is this is a grab shot, not a staged one, and the quantity of shadow in the scene caused overexposure of the reflections on the car and no time to make compensation adjustments
3) maybe - it’s a matter of taste
4) again, the grab shot may have precluded accurate focus
As for the size of the lady, to me it appears to be a case of distance compression caused by a telephoto lens.
Just my thoughts . . . .

If I am mistaken I ask for forgiveness but this looks to be in Photo Gallery, not Photo Analysis. Perhaps the OP did not ask for help because she did not feel she needed any. The photo does not need to be straightened at all as the car is going uphill. Yes there are blown out portions of the photo. Apparently that did not bother the poster. Apparently the poster was happy with the processing. After all it is her photo, is it not. It is a bit soft. Maybe that is the best she could get and wanted to post the photo anyway due to the rarity of the vehicle.
I mean no offense but I am not understanding why you would offer your solutions when the OP never asked for any help and seems satisfied with the photo as is.
