ok here are some constructive criticisms...

1. too much foreground space, it would be better if you zoom a little bit and not cut off the trees in the background.

2. the house and the trees are kind of distracting...seems like the trees are sprouting out of the sunroof.

3. very nice and don't have too much to say about it...other than maybe if you moved to the left a little bit and have the tree outline right in the center of the photo.

can't really do anything about those reflections unless you have a circular polarizer (don't know if filter companies make one for digital cameras). Try different angles and don't get stuck shooting at eye level, if you tried some low angles on the first one, parking lines would not be visible. Also try to get close to the subject. Pictures of parts/sections of the car can be quite visually nice too.

Nice car and nice pictures, much better than when I was starting out

First picture:
Follow rule of thirds.

Car should of been on the left (leading path/ somewhere to go.)

Get creative using the water reflection. Would of been great.

Second:
Kaydee is correct. Background is too complex.

My high school photography teacher told us about how not to have trees sticking out of our heads when we take personal portraits. Same idea with the tree sticking out of the car.


Clean SC. Sportmax 962s?

hey great tips guys, I just looked for a Cpolarizer and found a set of filters for 40 bucks. I might give that a try. I had a couple more water pictures I took I just didnt work on them yet. I'll keep the other stuff you all mentioned next time. I have a little notepad I take with me with stuff Ive read and your tips just got added!
