found a great place to shoot the other day. next week summer wheels go on, wash the car and a non cloudy day will be perfect

I actually like cloudy days for car photography as the skies can give you this nice dramatic texture.

As for the shots... I like the number 1 the most, but I'd clone out the sign that sticking out from behind the car.

but I'd clone out the sign that sticking out from behind the car. I agree. The sign in #1 makes a statement & I can live with it, but I wish it wasn't growing out of the car like the only pole in sight in #5.
The light & reflections in the first three are good. With all that open area there, I see no reason for the tree reflections in the last two, so next time MOVE YOUR FEET! (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=536323)

Getting rid of the no parking sign does wonders.

Looks great to me.

Good cloning job. As car shots, I usually like the tighter shots better.

Yeah tighter shots unless the background/foreground has a very interesting story to tell. But very cool shots nonetheless =)

nice, seems like its a little too dark on the front door though.

i reset the light room data and started over. i think these 2 came out really well compared to where i started with them. one is a tighter shot, which i usually like more as well, but the 2nd one is my new desktop ( until the summer wheels go on sat, then we will see )
thanks for the C&C and suggestions, it helps a ton.

Very nice, the colors really pop out. Plus BMW really knows how to make blue look good ;)
