This is a co-workers car that I took a few snaps of.

Black cars are tough to shoot. Most of the pics lack sharpness and don't really stand out to me. With that said, I love #3!

I think #3 looks great! #5 is my second favorite, good job.

I like the way it looks in #3 & 4. I think you've lost a lot of impact in 1 & 2 by framing so loose.

There's a link in there to a Composition Adjuster: This is a really neat Java app that will show your image with various "Rules" applied to it.

Nice job on the see-thru hood effect in #5. Very smooth - just the right timing on this one.

Another vote for #3 as the best.

3 is definitely the best. I like the composition of two though, in disagreement with most others. I think the arrow on the ground going right to the car is a cool way to draw attention to the subject.

As newton says a lot of these lack definition because a lot of the detail in the car's body is lost due to under-exposure. Check that left side of your histo and make sure the blacks dont clip. In some shots this is OK to clip the blacks, but when you are shooting a BLACK car as the subject, obviously don't clip out the blacks.

Black cars are tough to shoot. Most of the pics lack sharpness and don't really stand out to me. With that said, I love #3!

Thanks for the tips and pointers!
This was the first black car I have shot and it was tricky, the right time of day makes all the difference.

#3 in first, followed shortly by #5 for me.

I like em, #3 looks sharp. I'm not digging the wheels on the car though.
