First Car Shots...HotRods

I was going to dinner with some friends and saw all these hot rods in the parking lot, so I had to take advantage of the great lighting. So this is what I came up with (parking lots are tough to take photos in).

What does everyone think of the 'half car' style, what should I improve for next time as far as composition, or anything else for that matter?

Sweet pix. Nice cars.

In #1, not much, unless there's some detail that you're trying to isolate. I can live with #2.

You were there for the best time of day for the nice light. Other than that, outdoor car shows are pretty much a crapshoot, & we'll give you some leeway because of the conditions. You just have to work with what's there in front of you.

2 for me

I'm a full car shot man (aside from details such as badging/engine, etc) which is not artistic but good for archiving. Anyway, I do like your shots though (since they are not abstract)
