I had a shoot on a 2007 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T HEMI in lime green. Here are the shots and I hope you like them!

He could have used a good cut and polish before the shoot, would have had a lot more depth in the paint. Just something to keep in mind for subsequent car shoots.

Okay thank you!! I love getting feedback! I did not have my CPL filter on so all the reflections were showing. He did not give it any TLC so the car has been neglected quite a bit.

Your mid-tones are a little too flat for my liking. Maybe that is intentional? Plus with such a vivid color the images seems a little muted.

This car needed a way cooler setting.

Purely as constructive criticism:

1 Reflection of hoop in windscreen, bad placement and background.
2 Weird angle and probably should have shot portrait rather than landscape to get the shot you were after.
3 Ok, but too wide an angle.
4 Wheel should be turned in, not out.
5 Too wide, and should be aimed more at the car/or have the car fill more of the picture...

Also, your shots all look like they have some cyan/red filter over the top...

Take it to a mall, or a gas station when it's not busy and shoot it from far away with a long lens 3/4, front and rear...get some concrete behind it...

Usually I have a great spot but since the father of my friend did not want us to go far or take the car out so we had to make due. All of the shots have a "vintage" filter on them I put on that I made I can take it off and make it a normal shot.

yeah the basketball hoop is killing the first one. im not a huge fan of the location either. for me it takes it away from a true "photoshoot" and pushes it to a more. "heres some shots of my car in the driveway" at least it is a really nice house and driveway though. i'm not a huge fan of the processing but that's more a personal preffrence then anything. I think this style would work well for an older 70's model car instead of the newer model.

I am just going to re-edit the whole thing.

So here are some originals with no effects.

The color seems more true in the newest ones. Do the wide angle shots look similar to these ones?

Yes I just need to edit them. If you want I can and throw them up here.

No need, I'll take your word for it. I definitely prefer the newest ones. Possibly add just a smidge of saturation might make the color "pop" better too. Just a thought.
