I took these for his buddy's car club. A few young guys and their Honda Accords.

Nice photoshop work!! You've taken a shot that has little merit and turned it into art. Well done.

Nice PS job! I might remove the type on the tail light for a cleaner look.

I hate shooting light colored cars alongside with dark colored cars... Watch out for the shadows on the ground, and the shading on the opposite side of where the light hits the car... It's hard to monitor those areas without blowing out sections of the brighter side of the car, so placement of the car is KEY... Don't know what type of landscape and background you had to work with when positioning the cars, but I would have faced them towards the sun, so that you were shooting with the sun behind you...

Also, that would eliminate the shadows, both from the other car coming into the current frame, and the visible shadow from the current subject... Because the shadow's so big, it looks somewhat "incomplete" when you're forced to cut it off for framing purposes...

Just my $0.02, and of course my way isn't the ONLY way. lol. Lot of potential! Great composition!

This is a very good idea. But, when I was shooting those cars together this was the only only way because of the locations. Its hard to find a good place to place cars in San Diego. We went out to a place called Eastlake. This little spot was nice. But, to the right it about a 6 foot tall chain link fence. Because there's a school. And the other side is dirt and a hill. Any other angle and my background would've been awful. Plus With that fence and hill there, I wouldn't be able to get far enough from the cars either. I need a wide angle lens!!!
