lookin real good tony, but you're still shooting the shadow side somewhat. i think the second to last could have been a great shot if it was going the other way and had more room infront of the car.

When I read downtown I thought this

sweet.
I think the 3rd from the top would have been better if the car was turned 90 degrees.
The 2nd from the bottom I would have the car running diagonally across the stripes instead of parallel.
Definately want the sun at your back though. But not to late in the day or your shadow will be in the shot. and a partially cloudy day would be better than full sun.
But that's just me and I know you can't always get the perfect day, angle and time. and I know you were just itching to get out and ride.
Car looks great anyway.

I love all those shots! The car looks awesome & the color just adds something I can't describe! Vey artistic & flows with the settings not over powering the shots like a Red or Yellow might...ahhh not jarring describes my feelings! I think you have a car that could be used in so many ways in the art or ad world, it could become famous!

This pic would have popped out more if everything was symmetrical about the tree lines. Move the car a little to the left. Pics do look sweet though!

Tony WOW! I think you are getting compostion down. There are a few things that need corrected, but overall I like what you created here.
My fav pics are 1, 2, 4 and 7 those are the best IMHO. It's good to see you getting out that and firing that shutter. Your camera is still you hendering you a bit, but it's still dosent' matter what camera you have when your working on composition and angles, you do that with your mind anyway. I think ProKiller said it right, so refer back to his comments, regarding shadow side. I agree with [MENTION=10547]CC'S95GT[/MENTION] and lutter94 they have some of the same thoughts as I would.

Pic #1 crop out the 2 light poles that are on the sides of the image. Otherwise looks good, maybe a little underexposed, but still a quality image. You could have removed the light poles coming out the top of the car by moving closer to the car or placing the car closer to where you were shooting from.
#2 Needs different crop in my opinion ( see my adjusted image )
#3 If your doing a front end shot, make sure that you are dead center. If it is not symmetrical then the shot get ruined.
#4 Crop more and get car centered, then you will be symmetrical and can disregard rule of 3rds. The shoot needs to have morning or Sunset sun and then it would be awesome. Depending on which direction your shooting now, you want the shadows to away from you. So you this pic is facing west then sunset will be perfect, actually a 1/2 before actual sunset. ( your color is muted in a lot of the images due to shooting at NOON!)
#5 is nice
#6 is dark
#7 Get rid of the shadow side and crop different. Car is too high up, but...I think you tried to use rule of 3rds here.
#8 snapshot..I don't really get the message from this image. interior is dark.

I gotta say these are a 100% improvement over the pics taken with the fence in the background and much more exciting than just images at the storage shed.
Great to see you improving and getting better with places and I can see your puttting more thought into your images making. Can't wait for the next batch.
