I wanted to help out a friend to strengten up his drifting resume by taking a couple of photos of his car. A 1986 Toyota Corolla Hatchback,drifter machine, to cut to the point, he's a striving individual who wants to be seen. Here's some pics. C&C's are welcome (im way below amateur, sorry for the pics)

lovely AE 86. Love the rims.
First picture crop the sky out (or white wall) it has alot more impact. Try it with your computer or hand.

Welcome to the site. Nice set of shots. I am not crazy about the PP but that is personal prefrence. I do like the wheel shot. Well done on the wheel. On the first shot, try a different crop. Try cropping the sky out of the shot. The sky is not adding anything to the shot at all. I think it would help. Also the next time you have the opportunity to shoot the car keep the car further away from the structure. Nicely done on these. Keep it up.

On the first one I would crop differently, on the bottom I would start right at the wheel in front going upwards just a bit past the roof of the car, the sky is blown, and the too of the structure is too dark and detract from the shot.
