The shots are nice and sharp, the color is great but they are a bit dark. In the second shot, it looks as though he wet his pants and it is draining away to the right and the concrete step flowing off of the roofline is distracting. The tilt in the third shot distracts you from the telephone pole growing out of the trunk, though it is out of focus enough (the pole) not to be a big deal anyway. On the last shot the sky is blown out.

I just gotta laugh my a** off at the speed-holes, fartcan and the "I heart JDM" sticker on his windshield.

This has got to be the biggest ******* comment i have yet to see on this web board. The car may not be specutacular but every one of you muscle heads is soo ****ing closed minded. were not in the 70's anymore displacement doesnt 0wn all.



Now this is a real Muscle Car without the need for OHCs, turbos, etc.

Hey man, dont be mad and bag on this guy. Wow. Pretty harsh comment. I bet that civic would actually give a good run against your pretty little red camaro. Dont be mad cause you couldnt afford the Z06 that your wheels came off of. But all things aside, this a photo forum not a "whose car is cooler or faster" forum. Lets stay on topic.

Anttor, I see potential in your style of shooting, but I would like to see what you can do in a different setting without all the distractions such as the big metal drain, all those huge yellow lines, and that busy background.
I would further like to express my apologies for some of the rude and uncalled for comments made here. Really, MOST of us are NOT like that.
For the record redheat 86, I'm a "Muscle Head" too, but I can appreciate cars of all sorts.

Man, do not listen to them. We are talking about the pics right, not the car itself. I like the pics, they are a little dark but not that bad. On the third shot, you should have left the background as it was, your photoshop blurring looks bad. I say this because your blurring is inconsistent. Also, if you did not want us to see the license plate number, then you should have distorted the plate in the second photo. Did you stand on that fence to get that second shot cause I like that angle? Great shoot!
One question, why did you choose the back of a school?

[skyphix]

Yes, all of us "Muscle heads" are close minded, just like all you "ricers" are "young punks"

As for the photos. I like them a LOT. Not a huge fan of the parking lot lines but you did a good job of encorporating them into the photo.
