nice use of natural lighting! maybe invest in a polarizer for your lens to limit the reflections on the side. good start!

I like it.

Some comments: I would maybe lighten the shadows a little. I would also clone out the people as it breaks up the interesting reflections.

I've shot a few cars and noticed the reflection might have to invest in a polarizer. Would you recommend a circular one?

Overall the pic looks good, any other angles?

Yea, i'd recommend the circular kind... the square versions are a bit tough to mount on most modern spherical lenses. :p

i would! anything from B&H (external link) would probably set you up just fine. they do a very good job of minimizing reflections in the paint. sometimes you may need multiple exposures to completely remove the reflections - spinning the CPL, shooting, spinning, etc.

The first is the best so far.

The front shot is a little too dark for me and too much reflections. Keep at it though. I am in the same boat and still learning.

I like the first shot, but I think that door is really distracting to the overall form of the car.
