1 seems like it should be rotated clockwise ever so slightly.

2 is jaw dropping awesome.

3 really like the coloring, I wish the rear view mirror was facing straight back.

Is this client's house?

Excellent work, Dale - like the others, I like the second and third images - they really stand out.

I love #3 the best.
Colors and lighting are great on all of them, but on #1 and 2, the skew of the building kind of irk me a bit. Maybe a bit of correction in PS just to make it look a bit straight.
But, that's just me. Again, like I said everything else look great and they do stand out on all photos, even #1.

Would you mind sharing your PP? I understand if not. These are just sick. I'm waiting to see one of these hung on the side of a Dallas building downtown.

Dale, you know I have always been a big fan of your work.

Number 1! I love this one! Great background and processing. Is this a composite or was the car actually at the house? My work is surrounded by houses and cars like this.

Number 2. I'm not a huge fan only because the car seems to have been dropped onto the background. It looks a tad fake.

Number 3. The only thing I don't like is that it has a night time feel due to the darkness around the car, yet the inside of the car is lit up like day light.

Those are just my opinions and I love almost everything you do. Keep up the good work!

David, Thanks for the comments.

Number 1:
No composite here:


Number 2 fake???
Not a chance, it's real


Number 3
My boss asked me to do it this way. He's paying I'm doing. ;)

I'll shoot some in different styles. We have 12 DB9's at our firm and I have plenty of chances to shoot some more. Look out for a Glacial Blue one next.
