#1: Bottom of the car (around the passenger door) is lost in the background.

#2: I like this a lot.

#4: Looks odd with the rear cut-off.

Thanks for the comments, its greatly appreciated.

Its the first time I have actually paid full attention to the location and time of day for my car shots.

I have a few more once I have finished processing them.

Thanks again for the comments

Yes, I love #2. I wish you didn't have a front plate. It's required by law here, and I don't run one. :lol:

#3 Is Fire, the Sky is Amazing Great Pics

Great sky! I love the "God Rays" & would have shot some just of it to use for backgrounds.
1. I want to see the Mini going into the shot, not out of it.

2. +/- I'm not sure about the OOF Mini & the red dot in it's side keeps pulling my eye there.

3. OK, but I'd lighten the wheel. Try a Layer Mask for easy local changes.

4. I'm liking this one the best, but same as #3, except I'd try for more detail in the sky. Or try this: "Contrast Control" Tutorial (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=39702)

Blending Multiple Images (http://www.goingmanual.com/photo/tutorials.php?tutid=147) They use a gradient, but I prefer to use a black/white brush to make the changes. Like in the "Airport runway shoot" example.

Generally, you have the right idea. I might have tried some farther away from the wall, but it's tough to think of everything when the light is going. ;)

don't like it as much. HDR? I like the first batch better to be honest.

I really do like it a lot. The sky looks awesome, and so does the car. As a fellow Z owner I'll have to post some of mine soon.

[MattyB]

love 3, stunning!@

Didn't know you were a member on here Daz! ;)

Like I said about this shot though:

You need to edit inside the windscreen, because you can tell it's been edited! :)

[stathunter]

Sharp car and I like the last one best. Good job.

[MitsuJDM]

1: Good :) only thing I'd change is the crop. Add a little more on the right and it'd be good
2: Too much of the 350Z cut off
3: The hood and headlight seem to be too highly contrsted and too bright
4: Bad crop GND filter could have helped :)
5: It look like you over did the dodge tool on the wheels. Other than that composition is good. Slight crop off the bottem would look a little better I think, but the color and sky look fantastic :D

[Daz85]

Thanks alot for the C+C its definately appreciated.

Mark, it was from one of your posts on zsoc that I found this site :)

I really do like it a lot. The sky looks awesome, and so does the car. As a fellow Z owner I'll have to post some of mine soon.

I would definately like to see a few pics of your Z, i'll keep an eye out for your pics!

MitsuJDM: Thats great C+C ill keep them in mind for when I edit the rest of the batch I took. As for the Dodge on the wheels I noticed that after I uploaded it to photobucket so Im going to have a go at darkening it.

Thanks Again.
