I hate black and white normally but this shot worked better without the colors reflecting off my hood and distracting anyone who looks at it:

C&C Welcome

[Jamie Holladay]

Good series. I think 3 & 6 are the best

[Mark1]

They are good. My only gripe is #1 is way to tight.

[JAcosta]

Thanks guys.

[Jim G]

I really like the black and white one.

[SteveBrown]

So how would you like that car? I actually am thinking of getting one. I would love to know how you like it. Thanks in advance.

Nice light on the last one, but what's the reason for all the extra space at the top?

[v35skyline]

#1 is a little too tight for me. #2 is my favorite, but a CPL would have made it even better. The last one is too bottom heavy for my taste.

[DavidSR]

#2 for me!

Lets say I bought it the night I test drove it after weeks of looking at other cars. Its fun, and has room to grow if youre into the aftermarket thing.

I dont know, just framed it like that and went with it. I think it was because when I had more foreground in front of the car, there were too many distractions as it was a parking lot. Im talking about lines, concrete stoppers, etc. Id rather have dead space then concrete bumpers.

I agree with everyone that #1 is too tight. Yes I do need a circular polarizer but really, I dont use filters enough to warrant the price tag of a decent CPL.

[JAcosta]

Oh and to everyone who liked #2, that is my favorite shot of the whole series, minus the pinecone.

Thanks again everybody!

80-200 f/2.8L?

[DonJuanMair]

i like these, were these all taken with the 80-200?

[JAcosta]

You guys can check the exif if you go to my flickr, but these were taken with a combination of all 3 lenses in my sig.

[jwcdds]

They're nice pics, or at least I like them.

I'm just more curious about the 80-200. I'm relatively newbish to Canon DSLRs, but I only know of the 70-200. Thus my original response, looking for enlightenment.
