#1- car seems to get lost with the background. Like the idea though.
#2- I think you either need to increase the angle more or make the horizon level. I like the processing, but would like to see more detail in the car.
#3- This is my fav of the set. Good angle and the car detail is really good and sharp. Excellent color on the car. Blur out that background and bam.
#4- good reflections in the car body and I like the composition, but again I'd like to see less focus of the background.

My suggestion would be to try a wider aperture to blur out that background.

They all look a little soft, or is it me?

I like the composition of the first one but the others seem to be cropped to tight (rule of thirds). If any of them need to be cropped a little tighter, it's number 1.

Regarding number 3, when you desaturate the background, make sure you work on the area behind the window. It stands out, actually that was the first thing my eye went to when I looked at it.

Clone out the inspection sticker and registration sticker on all the photos

Nice car, and nice set.

I for one ... LIKE the first one and the 3rd one.

They don't look soft on my screen.

Wow thx for the input guys. I just picked up a 3 piece set of White Lightnings that im excited to implement in the future for this car and his Viper.

Short story about why we were there: Owner spilled oil unknowingly on the headers and it started smoking less than two blocks from the house. So we were forced to shoot in the driveway of the firehouse(which coincidentally is a volunteer house!)
