hey guys, I recently acquired an 08 red gti, so you may be seeing a lot of photos of this car from now on, as it is readily available for photoshoots. This is sort of my first automotive attempt so CRITIQUE PLEASE, it can only help me!

These are what i thought were the best of the bunch

Nice ride! I like #4 the most. The tarmac on the first picture looks too bright and distracting. As I have bought a circular polarizer lately, I see that you could use one too to cut down some of the reflections. Especially from the windshield (that's where it distracts me the most). Polarizer also let's you achieve a nicer sky :)

gorgeous car and great pics, were these taken with the 70-200 f/4?

no 2 is my favourite! the train really adds scale to the picture

Even with the reflection in the back window, it looks pretty good in #4. I'd like #1 best, except for all the poles, & it looks pink instead of RED.

This is RED:

Thanks, i actually have a polarizer but wasnt thinking about it!

Some of these were taken with the 70-200mf4 but others were with the 50mm 1.8.

Thanks guys, Keep the comments coming!

That second shot is great! Usually I don't like pictures of cars taken off of the road (unless it's a truck or SUV of course) but these turned out great. Nice set!

I think the 3rd is the best of the set. Nice work

I like number one very clean shot except the poles, i think the front of the car is a little hot but a cp would help that alot.
