i like the two dashboard shots. the first shot is OK. not really excited about the other two. that's my $.02

I too like the dash board shots. I like the first one as well, however, I think your angle is a little off on it though. I would like to have seen it more horizontal with the hood line perpendicular to the center of the frame - but that is just MHO. Now as for the other two, the first one showing the "gills" and the finder, I like what you are trying to do. The big problem I see there is out of your control for the most part and that is the distractions in the back ground. The second one to me is pointless frankly - again MHO. Nice capture for something you just happened across though. Thanks for sharing.

cool. that's good feedback! i'm in a mode right now where i'm shooting everything without a lot of clue as to what actually "works." i don't really trust my own judgement about what's good or bad, but in this case you kind of confirmed what i felt about the green shots. those pix feel more like a john deere than a british sports car.....not all that exciting in that context. i think i also should have tied it together with a shot of a whole car, but the setup just didn't seem right.

thanks!
