lol well the newer photos...they obviously look a lot better. with the exception of the 3rd one from the bottom which i failed to focus, do they look ok? i really don't have an eye for photography.

This picture looks like the focus was on the branch. Before you shoot, make sure you focus is spot on the subject. Make sure to clear any obstructions before shooting. Right now, my eye is sticking to the branch rather than the car. You want people to notice your subject first in a photo.

I always try to avoid objects that look like they are sticking out from the car. Next time, make sure you don't have any trees, people, signs or anything sticking out of the car. Moving your feet would have done wonders. :)

Never chop of anything from the car. Cropping cars, unless if done right, can be for the worse.

Those are just a few from the bottom that I see wrong. Besides the WB issue, they all could use a little sharping.

And remember, people want to see the car not angles that could break your neck. I always shoot angles, but not to where I get to carried away with them.

word i gotcha. i actually did focus on the car, not the branch. there was another shot that i experimented with focusing on the branch. i see what you mean though, now that you bring it to my attention. the sign too, also that ridiculous angle. i tried to line up with the rocker cover or side skirt but it didn't work how i wanted it to. thanks for the input i would have never noticed that stuff

Don't get me wrong, the angle is good, just be aware not to get to carried away with it to where every single pic is an angle. That gets on my nerves. :rofl:

Also remember to always straighten your horizon when editing or even when you look through the viewfinder.
