I like all the shots. Properly lit and composed and focus where it should be. They demonstrate clearly the appreciation you have for cars. I can appreciate the technique you put into taking these shots. But cars do not do anything for me. They provide the means to get from A to B and should be comfortable and reliable (and nowadays use not too much fuel). I don't give a toss what they look like

These are OK "meet shots" where you don't have the option to move the car, but as images that make each car look as good as possible, they don't do it for me. For instance, the clouds reflecting in #s 1 & 3 interfere with the nice gradation of light that you should have in the body. And what was it that you liked about the pole growing out if it in #4?
See the links in my Sig for some ideas if you're going to "predominately do automotive photography".
