Had some down time photography wise so I've been going through 2012's collection of photos and found some good ones (in my opinion) that I missed before.
Edited them a differently than I have other times, going with a darker theme this time around. Let me know what you think of the processing please! Does it work? Should I scrap this style?

3/4/5 are outstanding. I want to like 2 a ton, but the tails on the mustang are waaaay to bright. My eye heads right to those. 1 is nice, but, tone the white down just a tad on the lead car...

Thank you! Yeah the taillights got ****** up in #2 :( Gotta fix that next time. Thank you for criticism as well, definitely appreciate an outside view on my processing.

I'm a fan of the darker processing...really helps give it that gritty and raw look. However, what ever method you seem to be using to achieve this seems to be reducing the contrast a decent amount. I don't know if that is intentional or not, but for instance in #5, where I know it is supposed to be black, it shows rather gray. My personal preference would be for it to be the true black to retain contrast. Just my personal preference though.

It is a great set though. I really like the barrel blurred in #4 :)

Very Nice set, Im loving 1 and liking 3 and 5.
5 cropped like 3 would look good as well.

Thank you! Yeah it was intentional, I too like the look of true blacks just wanted to try something new here. :)

Thank you! I almost cropped #5 like #3 but left it just cause. I think it could pull it off good too.
