1) Turn tires inward - All the pro pics I've seen do it
2) Too much ground in front of your subject.
3) Avoid reflections - This is real tough to do

Pic #1--I agree, nice pic
Pic #2--+1 on tree growing out of the car
Both pics--Maybe shoot with some clouds in the sky and/or use a polarizing filter to bring out the blue color in the sky--would have made a good contrast to the car. Both shots are good though!

Jeff...

Do you shoot in raw or just jpg? Both pictures are a little over exposed. Try metering against something midrange in aperture priority mode and reduce your aperture size to increase the clarity toward the rear of the image. Pay attention to your composition too!

Raw will give you some editing capabilities in PS that alow a higher level of control than jpgs.

Shoot lots of pictures and learn... There are some guys who can give you alot better feedback than me.

Rich

I messed with one of your pics to try a few things...

Both of the pix in the first post look artificial... like the color has been enhanced but it didn't turn out right. Look at the shade of red..... it just looks weird and I've seen a hundred Redfire cars- they don't look like that.
