Turn down the saturation. Also, whats a "Corba?" :P

Black vehicles are tough to shoot. You did a good job with the reflection control!
I'd work on the framing a bit: a few of them put the car smack dab in the middle of the frame. And, although I know it will be said many times, try not to shoot in the open sun if possible; that will help a lot!

tone down the saturation. the angles are ok, 1 and 3 are the best. try and get a side shot

Shooting around mid day is pretty tough, I would also look for better backgrounds, they are a little cluttered.

I don't know much about car photography so take it with a grain of salt, but the first thing that catches my eye in the shots of the front are the streaks on the windshield. I'm sure you could clone them out easy, or I could just be nitpicking...

Thanks for the tips guy. Yea met up with him seriously mid day around 12. The sun was so bright especially here in Socal. Tried my best. But I should have took some in the shade.
I should turn down the Saturation. But if you're referring to the 3rd and 4th picture they are actually HDR shots. I dont know if that affects anything.

Very nice Cobra... What really distracts me in the frontal shots is that license plate holder with no plate. At first I thought the plate was taken off to save from having to blur it in PS, but the next pic shows the rear plate. IDK if Cali requires a front plate as NY does, but for the next photo shoot take it off and clone out any mounting holes... it would make that front bumper really pop and focus your eyes on that huge intercooler :cool:

But I should have took some in the shade. That will probably just put busy reflections in the body. See the links in my Sig and...

Haha that kinda distracted me too. The owner didnt take it off b/c there was holes in the bumper. But I think he is getting it removed and repaired.

Pick a different location. Parking lots generally have lots of distractions like light poles and painted lines.

Turn the camera clockwise 90 degrees :lol: Unless you have something interesting above or below the car, or the car stretches top to bottom of the frame (think high angle shot), take the shot in landscape mode

A bit harsh light but good angles. Plan for a photoshoot with better light and you will see excellent results!
