Some Cars in HDR

Had a fun little shoot yesterday at a friends. We decided to shoot the fleet of cars they own. Turns out its a lot harder to shoot a fleet than I thought it would be. I did get some keepers though. Still lots to go through. Let me know what you think Would love some tips on shooting cars!

I like these, the HDR capture fits the type of car for sure. The thing I really dislike... is that house to the far left in both frames. It takes away from the cars and has nothing to offer to their beauty. Otherwise the overall capture is very nice and the old-skool paint colors look very good in HDR. Except th at red camaro

I agree with StaticMedia.....

The HDR looks much better than a lot of it I've seen overdone.
#2: You had some pretty nice light there, but I think you could have avoided having the trees reflected in the body.
why frame it like that? What did you like about the buildings at the front & back that you had to include them? Give it more room at the front for it to have room to "move into", & reduce the distractions in the frame.
Turn the wheel a little bit more, & not the same way as in #1, & maybe turn on the parking lights for more visual interest. After the reshoot, post some in "Transportation"!

Great questions. Obviously I didnt ask myself any of that! Actually I was hoping for a better location but we would have needed people to drive these cars somewhere which was not an option. Good list of things to add to my checklist though.

Edit:
Also, PhotosGuy, what exactly do you mean by...

The front in #2 is closer to the edge of the frame than the back is, so it's going out of the frame. If you give it more room at the front so it has room to "move into" the frame, it's a more dynamic image.

Thats what I thought. Thank you very much!
