Too much flair in sky.

Where in your photography handbook does it say that? LOL

I like it and so did the customer. :)

Man what an awesome car. Great shoot.

If I had anything to say about it. In the last picture, would have been great to see the car facing the water or in the current position on the other side of the frame.

Either way, I think it still looks good.

Sorry, but in the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES only allow 2 attachments by the OP per thread, OR 8 embedded (linked) images, OR a combination of both totaling 8 per thread. (Maximum 1024 pixels on any side.) You can always just post a link to more, though, or better yet, post a link to a gallery so we don't have to click on each image link.
Some exceptions are group threads, like "Show Me...", "Post your best...", equipment reviews, Tutorials, etc.
You may add a few additional photos if requested, but only in a reply to other member's post and request.

Not enough detail in the back for me, the shadows blocked some of it. Not a fan of the flare either.

I saw your images in the NASIOC thread as well. I like them but the crops are a little bit awkward for me. Why did you put the car so close to the edge of the frame?

http://i202.photobucke​t.com …Ashraf%20GT-R/ashraf2.jpg (external link)

Like that one. (this one you would also want to turn the wheel so we see the wheel and not the tire...and straighten the horizon line)

They also have a little bit too much post processing for my tastes. Almost an Instagram look. It looks like there is a haze over the lens and it takes away from the detail of the car. Just my opinion though.

If you are going to have this much sky...it needs to be interesting. As it sits, you just have a ton of dead space in the image. Have you thought about maybe cropping this down to a wide screen aspect ratio and give the car a little bit more room on the bottom and right sides? I'd point the wheel towards the camera on this one as well instead of the tire.

Also, all of your photos have one dark corner (guessing from post processing vignetting), I would get rid of the darkness in that one corner as it distracts from the image (top right corner in this image and top left in the first one above).

Anytime! We are all in the same boat. Once you stop trying to get better you ultimately fail. Even the best photographers I know are always trying to push it to get better. We all start somewhere and constructive feedback from our peers is what helps the most.

It's hard to take in sometimes when you really like the shots you have put out, but it does help make that next shoot just that much better in the end.
