Excelente pic. Love the sun through the mist/fog effect and good angle too :drool:. 9.5/10

I love the lightning and highlights. The overall composition of realistic-commercial type of photo is very good. Definitely good enough to be on a poster:D
However i don't quite like the asphalt on the first picture. It's blurred out too much.*It's only my opinion. I might be wrong. 9/10
I'd like to hear some comments on the composition and angle. Thanks

Well i'd say the pic is perfect in my eyes, i think it would go well with some magazine or something. Sorry for my bad spelling. Long story short, perfect 9.9/10 man :)

Heres few of mine:

I chose this because of you and give it a 7.5/10. I think with more trigger time people would be better and in my opinion would have chosen a lower position to take the picture. Sorry for my English but the translator of google has these things

It's alright, the partial colour works and the snow setting is a nice touch but overall it's a bit bland and a bit ordinary IMO. Nothing there that really stands out. 6/10

It's an earlier photo so I didn't expect much.

Colours are pretty nice, but there is no focus at all in the picture - what stands out? Even the car is a bit too dark in the picture. Overall...: 5.5 out of 10.

My turn...





(More in my gallery here.)

Any thoughts? I'm trying something new, and seeing if there's anything I could work on.

Well i love the lightning a lot. You could try to get this kind of lightning on more colorful pictures. I don't see anything bad at all about your pictures, they are really good. Maybe some one with more experience could give you more hints, for me , they look amazing ( even though i don't usually like cold pictures with high contrast.) 9/10, just because I'm sure there are some ways to get this kind of shots in even better composition.
Well here are my latest shots :D I'd like to hear comments about everything, especially reality look. maybe somebody more experience could tell me what should i add or take off to make my cars look realistic. Thanks

@ Horde.. Great work as always.. I really like the angle of the first one and the lens flare 9/10.. 2nd shot is not my favorite from you.. not to say it's bad... I like the idea behind it ( maybe if the driver was a little further to the right it'd be better) 7.5/10

9/10, Ziggy. I love the detail and crispness of the photo. Great depth of field and the reflections really stand out on the car without looking cheap or oversharpened. Also proper lighting and exposure and great composition. :)

If I'm not mistaken this is HDR. Normaly I'm rather sceptical to HDR-photos, mainly because the often end up looking like a cartoon. This one is more subtle - it doesn't have the cartoon-look. Composition wise there is still room for improvement, I feel the car is too close to the edges of the picture, which takes the focus away from it and lessens the sense of speed in the picture. I also wish that the front of the car was sharper, as it is now it appears hazy and out of focus. Overall I give it a 7/10.

Now then... Have at it.
 
I feel the exposure may be a bit too bright. Perhaps lowering it, even if just a little bit, to give the car back some of the detail lost. On the plus side, there is a good sense of motion and the car is positioned good in the composition.
I would give it a 7/10



Here is mine. Tear it apart and find everything wrong with it that you can. I'm here to learn.
 
I like the subtle lighting at the bottom, offsetting the lighting from the top. I feel this is un-intentional but it works. My eyes were taken from the car to the background, which is unfortunate and not what you want to happen. There is too much free space for the viewers eye to wonder. Also you should emphasize more focus on the Viper using a lower fStop. It's extremely over-contrasted. There is way too much black "blank" areas.

Overall I would give it a 5/10. The composition is good, but there is a lot left to be desired. :) Keep at it!!!

Hate that spoiler and wheels. HDR looks good though. 6,5/10

The sky is incredibly overexposed on that shot, and it ruins the shot. Sorry, but it ruins it for me. It's a shame, because the rest of the shot is great, it's just that you can't see it. I'll give a 5/10, because I love what you tried to do an think it could work really well without the overexposed sky.

How about this (click for big):
