Cars a little dark, but that's because have it backlit. What's that black streak in the top left corner? Looks like a sensor dot that moved.

Before I start, I love the wheels on this car...had to get that out of the way.
Redesign your logo, now. Its hideous, and looks like it came from the 80's and takes away from your images.
1. The car is slightly underexposed, and the picture is very grainy. Bump the exposure and run some type of noise reduction software on it.
2.This one is not terrible. I think your angle makes the car look a little flat. The background lacks any real interest.
3. The smudge on the upper left is extremely distracting. The car is underexposed.
4. Bad framing. I cant tell what the subject is. The car is too low on the frame. Why is there a person in the frame?
5. "see #2" Car looks bad from this pov.
6. One of the better shots of the set. The pillar to the left kinda distracts, but overall pretty solid.
7. Again, not bad. Try to shoot the lit side from this angle next as opposed to shooting the shadow side.
8. Car is extremely underexposed. Either make it a silhouette, or properly expose it. That same smudge is in this image too.
9. Cropped too tight, and shot from too high. Also the car next to it is reflecting some of that sunlight back into the image(bottom).
10. Not bad, but you cut off the lower part of the tire.
11. Not bad, but i would rather see either properly exposed or a lot darker.
12. PROPERLY EXPOSED!!!! Apart from your shadow, this shot is excellent.

You asked for harsh, so you got harsh. But you are off to a good start. You have sweet cars to shoot, just fix some little habits and possibly get your sensor professionally cleaned.
Keep shooting!

That's a great job of giving feedback. If keeping the background, I'd clone out the signs etc on the wall.

Pretty cool picture, sort of looks like it's in a video game :D
Also, do you know what those wheels are? I can't tell :(

Thanks. Love the feedback. I now see those mistakes, although I know they were a little underexposed. I actually shot these is raw so i will try to re-edit them and see what I can do with your comments.
Keep them coming.
btw, The wheels are racing harts, but i do not know the model.

Keep in mind that our eyes are drawn to the brighter parts of the shot. And those bright areas tend to make the dark car look even darker. Take a look at POST #30 near the bottom: The gray bar at the center is the same density all the way across.
