I did a photo shoot of a 100k+ worth BMW X6. It was bought brand new in 2009, sent to Lumma tuning center and was modified to the highest standard - kit included - widened arches, carbon fiber bonnet, sprayed in car colour, roof sprayed black, carbon fiber mirrors,front and rear diffusers, rear spoile rin carbon fiber, 4 pipe stainless steel exhaust system, 24" alloys etc, etc.
Hope you enjoy!
C&C Welcome!

i like the series, the lighting is great. My only criticism is that in majority of the shots the car is on an angle in the shot which makes it difficult to take in the cars details.

Images look great just the way they are and the car looks just awesome. Never was a fan of that model but I think you've changed my mind.

You have a few things growing out of the roof. Also, you can see the flash in one. You have a tripod plainly in the frame in the last one. Very sharp and nicely processed though.

Thanks guys.
Zethar - I'm not a fan of BMW's at all, but trust me, this one does impress me in real life.
Jmartel and 51OAU - I do know I have 2 flashes out of 5 used there actually in the last shot, but I left them there intentionally, but I'll try to clone them out if they are distracting.
And the first angle was made on purpose so the two cranes go out from the background.
Thanks again for the criticism to help improve myself.

Negatives:
i don't see the point of intentionally leaving the tripods in the frame...it does nothing for the car and looks like an oversight.

i would take it easy on the "ricer angles". no one wants to break their neck looking at photos!

i don't like the conveyors growing out of the roof in #1

the close, wide angle shots don't do much for me. i don't really like it when the car looks distorted.

Positives:

your off camera lighting is really good.

you picked a great, contrasting location for the shoot.

the images are nice and sharp.

keep shooting!
