bottom shot is sick. a touch more light on the doors would really pop the form of the car.

Very good pictures as always..I think the xD is ugly but his is actually nice, maybe its the stock ride height and wheel covers that ruin it for me.

In 1st post I love the second shot, really shows the lines of the car, kinda like something out of an Infinity commercial.

Yeah... it's really a car that has to grow on you. I like the car, minus the grille area. From the side it looks good, from the rear 3/4, I love it. From the front, not so much.

They really are cars inside though, much more refined than mine is. Too quiet though, I like being able to hear my engine running.

Showing the body lines is exactly what I had in mind when I positioned the shot. I'm glad I was able to make it work the way I envisioned it.

Thanks for the compliments. :wink:

#2 is nice, I thought the same thing about the Infiniti commercial. Those are very different lines than the any infiniti, hah, but i like the shot. kind of a quirky/cool car from the side profile.

Just one question since I am new to this stuff and want to improve. Is there a reason you chose to zoom out as much as you did with the 2 original pix, like do you think you get more "character" that way or its just a preference thing.

I wanted to capture the texture of the wall, and also capture the path of the light as well. Plus, the large expanse of wall emphasizes the small size of the car.

However, I think the photo works either way.
