wow i really like them all. i'm usually not a huge fan of HDR, but these look great... not too over-done. gives the car a bit of a video game look, pretty neat.
#1 is probably my favorite, but all of them really are great. if i had to pick at one thing, i would say the brown spots on the road in #3 are a little distracting. otherwise, great job!
cool location too!

I like what you've done with #3 and the positioning of the car with the two arrows lining up. #1 looks great but I would've really liked to see the gates open and the front lip lined up with the arrow. Great shots and very nice use of HDR!
Being a dub guy myself if there was a bow emote I would use it, those BBS rims suit the car extremely well and it's dropped nicely.

I love HDR when they aren't overdone. (I've done some bad ones myself ;-))
These are very nice.

These aren't bad, but the light on the body looks uneven, probably because of the reflections from the trees.

Nice shots! I, too, usually think people over-do HDR and I was coming into this thread thinking the pics were going to be over-done.. But they aren't at all. I think they were tone-mapped perfectly. I think white cars look terrific with HDR. Like PhotosGuy said, you should probably try avoiding the tree reflections/shadows, though that doesn't really bother me in the pics. Great job!

Although I'm sick of seeing many failed attempts at HDR, I'm hating it more and more -- but these are great. Excellent job!!!

blah blah blah... same thing everyone else said ;) I disagree with photo guy. The tone on the car with the slight grey shows body shape better than it being just flat. Especially on that front fender.

Don't confuse texture with direction of light, which gives shape.
I'd say they are only distracting on number one though.

the car is amazing and every day I enjoy it more and more, I'll be going slightly lower soon and a few changes to finish it up. Seems like I'm so attached to the dub scene I can't justify buying anything else next. BTW I'm in Hialeah :cool:

Awesome. I might be looking into getting a MKV :) We should have a shoot for our cars one day. I'm in the process of making a rig so we can take those magazine shots! I'm a little north of you by the way. I'm just south of Plantation in Davie.

GREAT! Be sure to check out VolksAudi.com, it's a cool crew of local Vdub enthusiasts. Definitely we can have a shoot sometime, let me know when you rig is done :D
