A Couple Car Pics C&C

[LiveStrong2009]

Here are a few of my best attempts at car photos. I would really appreciate some C&C on these, as I really want to improve my auto photography.

1)

2)--- I realize I cut off the logo a bit... I'll keep an eye out for that next time!

3)

4)

5)

Thanks for looking!

I love all of em! ESPECIALLY the 3rd one.
Were these processed?

Other than lifting shadows slightly and white balance in all of them, there is not much processing.

In number 3, it was black and white, but I gave it a slight blue tint.

Believe it or not, number 2 is just available light. It is under a bridge near where I live, for some reason they decided to put blue lights under it.

#3 is also my favorite. Good work!

Did you shoot these in RAW? The WB looks off on most of them. They also look a little underexposed to me. #3 I think isn't straight. I might have a tinker with that.

Nice STI though...:er:

IMO:
#1- don't like the yellow look. maybe a closer crop like so:

#2: The blue light doesn't work for me on a blue car. I realize there isn't much you can do about that, but a white car might have looked cool.

#3: Unique effect. Too much space again on the left for me. Although parking beside a no parking sign is kind of funny.

#4: I like the idea, but it looks like it's going to be driving into the wall.

#5: Fav of the group, would still like to see less of the second building, like so:

Thanks for all the C&C, it was a pleasant surprise after a long day!

I very rarely shoot in RAW, none of these are in RAW format

#1-- aside from changing WB and PP, how can I reduce the yellowish color? That is simply the color of the brick when the awful street lighting is illuminating it.

#2-- I understand what you are saying about a blue car under blue light

#3-- Perhaps someday I will take another pic in the same location, but move the car much closer to the no parking sign. That will eliminate the large amount of open space.

#4-- Also understandable

#5-- I see why you like the cropped version; however, I think the old vs new contrast between the car and the building make the pic interesting.

For other readers, I would really like your opinion on number 5, both the cropped version and the original. Thoughts would be appreciated!
