I could see where you were going with shot 2 but it didn't quite get there for me as it looks washed out and could have used some reflectors on to the side/front of the vehicle to get it to pop more. I really don't like the angle and crop you've used for number 3, as it really needed to be taken from a more parallel angle to the car and sit further back. Also because all the angles are leading to that front wheel you've want to make sure that's as sharp as a tack.

I like perspective a lot, but feel it's a bit to dark (underexposed maybe) and I would have shot it with a CPL to get rid of the reflection on the windshield. Just my $.02 -- Trent

Number 2 and 3 are definitley "against" your rules but I love the scenery of #2 and #3 was just one of the extra shots I had from that day that I decided to keep (I hope this makes sence ).I've never said that every shot has to be a great one, just that one in a series should make it look as good as possible?
