i like all of them apart from the last one :-p. reflections on some are a bit so so, but not that bad either. what time of day do you shoot at? it doesn't look like the golden hours. I'm sure PhotosGuy will post a link to the lighting thread soon enoth :p. Aswell as a polariser, consider an ND grad to control the skies too :).

I'm sure PhotosGuy will post a link... Here you go! ;) Use low light to reduce shadow contrast & help the car to look it's best:

the last one can be toned down on brightness and I can see your reflection ;)

they were shot over the course of the day, the red s15 was at about 1300hrs
and the last shot would have been about 1600hrs

it was the first time i have worked with a model, and i have got no idea on how to pose a model with a car, she was with the guy who owned the white silvia- and just wanted to be in a few shots.

oh, and the reflection in the sunglasses shot - i am going to have a play with photoshop and see if i can layer another shot into it
