There is a lot here that is not appealing to me. Rather than pick apart each shot, I recommend you go look at as many car shots as you can. Find out what it is specifically that makes you like some, and dislike others. Also, I have done my fair share of screwing around behind the wheel, and actually think it's good for learning how to drive. But, please consider heading outside of town for that kind of stuff.

Wow I wouldn't have guessed these were done with an 18-55. These are sharp.

For one thing,,,,,In most of the shots the background takes away from the car.

this car is very

lookin

j/k dood....

hey... great car... keep shooting... pics'll only get better and better... also... cut down on the number of pics you post... I say, pick the top 5 you like and post them up...I'd also shy away from posting pics that contain illegal activities while driving...

do you have any practice with PP?

a few of these shots could have some great potential.

and yes. i did notice the backround was a Little in focus in some shots and i didn't like that at all. i would like only the subject (the car) to be in focus. dp i have to open or close the aperture more?

PP = Picture Processing/Post Production/Photo Processing

all means the same thing....

i'd take the best pic and go with it from there... try different effects with Photoshop of whatever program you may have.

maybe even use 1 pic and have 5 different variations of it... re-post it for a C&C.

i'll bet anything you get a much better response..

you also might want to turn on you edit image so other members can play with your pics...

I am a newb here in POTN myself but whenever i take photos of my car, I make sure it is nice and clean. Suggest you wax the car, have the front bumper painted, clean up that green smudge on the rear bumper, and use some tire shine. You may also want to use a circular polarizer.

being harsh on comments won't help you.. having an open mind about people's C&C's with experience WILL.

it just takes time man... keep shooting
