Just some critiques....

cvbikeguy · Aug 6, 2011

Took some new shots the other day. I very much dislike them and as much as i hate to, i will post them in search of constructive help. The scenario was a later afternoon with my co driver flaking (and a major migraine.) I feel like this shoot was 2 steps backwards as i feel as I am capable of better. Feel free to check out my Previous Pictures to be the judge.

#1 - the lines of the road tend to lead the eye out of the picture; the car as a backdrop competes with the girl for attention as the subject; her expression somehow doesn't look appropriate for the picture; given the other pictures, one could wonder why she's there in the first place (not that I didn't enjoy seeing her, but the car seems to be the subject of the shoot)

#2 - glare on the windshield; shadow on the hood; why are the lights on?

#3 - too much of a "straight on" shot

#4 - probably best of the bunch, though I don't like the grass being in full sun while the car is in shade

#5 - reflections over the rear wheel make it look like the thing's been in a wreck and the body work has been crumpled

I like number 1 and number 5 the most. Although, I'd like number 1 better if the girl weren't in the shot. Pretty girl. Just seems irrelevant since all ur other pics are about the car.

Glare and shadows seem to be the concern here. U also have reflection in the background from a road sign.

Keep shooting!

haha thanks for the help. yea the time of day was a big hurdle and the location since their were a lot of trees.

The owner of the car prefered the lights on for everything.... dont know why.
