Nice set

Nice. May I C&C? Please ignore if not...

All of the static compositions feel awkward, I feel the car should be pointing in the other direction for where you've framed them. The first also appears to be out of focus, and others a tad soft also. The lighting isn't equal on the car either, the front 2/3rds of the car are lit niceley, but the light fades away towards the rear.

The rig shots from the rear are nice, but the first you've posted is has an over exposed sky, you've also lost the headlight, and the side of the car is under exposed, loosing detail in the tyre. You also have up and down motion in the tree's.

Nice work, love the tree blur in the first rig shot!

Hey Dean. From the Master…yes! You may C&C! (needless to say I’ve seen your photos even before you posted here and I really like them)

I know that the rule-of-thumb is to have space in front of the car but I like to break this rule if there’s something behind the car that I want in the frame (in this case the vanishing point of the long straight road) and since the car isn’t pointed too much to the right I thought I could get away with it.

Over exposed sky and loss of left headlight…sigh…it was still a bit too bright out for long exposure. Still waiting for my ND to come in. And actually, the detail in the tyre is there in the original, it was lost in PP. Maybe I might redo it (but I may get lazy and not).
And I think the up and down motion is from the pulse of pushing the car. Damn this GTI wouldn’t roll very easy (unlike my Mazda). I usually push hard and let it glide then take the picture but with the GTI had to keep pushing even while taking the picture.

I'll have to keep in mind all these things for next time

first pic the front seems a little OOF

Nice work, especially the rig shots.
