These are OK show shots, but you've cut something off in almost every shot?

I try not to cut stuff off...but you're right I must be doing it subconciously.....I will definitely work on that in the future...thanks for the tip!

Most of your pics have images where portions of the vehicle is missing. Step back a little and frame the entire vehicle in the viewfinder, you can always close crop the picture to remove any unwanted background later. There are lots of pictures posted daily in this section to use as reference material. Shooting perfect images at car shows can be a challenge due to various conditions you will encounter. With some practice, and C&C, your XSi and kit lens will render good results! ;)

yeah that sounds like a good idea..I guess I just under estimate the quality of my lense and think that I f I don't get the picture close up in the first place...then when I crop and zoom in it will get blurry. This is my first SLR and I am still getting used it. But I think I am going to be very spoiled once I realize the capabilities...thanks for your feedback!
