OK for sunlight shots, but they're looking more like landscape+car than shots of my buddy's M3, & I fail to see the attraction of the running gear in the 2nd one, as well as the power line in the last one?? ;)

Try this sometime & get in closer to the main subject: A few Car Lighting Tips (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70290)

Thanks for your c&c Frank! Actually, I was trying to create a car+landscape theme, as if the car was a wild animal. The gear in the second one is actually a random rig axle. I thought capturing something artificial sitting randomly in the middle of nowhere would be...interesting. :)

I really like 5 and 7 alot, Maybe a tighter crop on 5. Not a big fan of the other ones though. Good job!

a little shadow/highlights adjustment in photoshop would help deal with the harsh sunlight :). not sure about the running gear myself.

The landscape is not all that fantastic for a sportscar. Plus why hide the car behind the grass.

...as if the car was a wild animal. Didn't Jaguar do it (better) a few decades ago? Using someone else's idea isn't wrong, but I'd try to take it & improve on it. :D
OK, so you've probably never seen it. http://photo.klein-jensen.dk/smilies/tape2.gif

I haven't. ;)

I really don't like it when a photo has a car, and a car only in the center of the picture. I like it when the subject is offset and the picture also depicts various other elements in the background.

Looks like a great day to shoot! I love M3's.

Nice car and beautiful colors in the landscape. I am just not sure the BMW fits.

[PhotosGuy]

I haven't. Google is your friend? Jaguar ad "breed of cat" :D

The shots aren't bad and the area is nice, but they're a little dull. I think some better angles would help bring out the aggressiveness of the M3.

its tough shooting cars in the middle of the day. its harder to see any kind of detail on the car.
