i think the angles are boring.

 

[Sw1tchFX]

is that a hood scoop? nice, must be fast, right?

I like the 2nd because of the nice bokeh on the background.

spiffybeth ... ok, at least you tell me why you don't like them

actually, I was trying to get some more extreme angles (less natural ones), but the first one was the best I could get in 10 minutes since the scene was extremely crowded with people. then I gave up.

Sw1tchFX ... I think it is a hood scoop. It is not my car

about the bokeh, I was not sure if it was maybe a bit too subtle and I should have gone to a shallower DOF.

Anyway, these were taken at a midsummer celebration in northern Sweden.

 

[Sw1tchFX]

the bokeh works because the edges of the car are still sharp. The background would have been distracting.

that is a awesome car. i wouldnt mind driving that.

Yes, I agree

I quite like these shots. In the first one, I like the diagonal angle at which you took the shot, and the low pov. And in the second shot, I like the dof with the boathouse and rocks in the background - it makes it look like a shot one might see in a magazine.

^^^ I agree with Anty, it definitely looks like something from a magazine. The only thing I'm not really liking about the 2nd is the small shadow at the bottom right.

 

[Alex_B]

Thansk both

Thought of cloning that shadow out.. this is cast by one of the crowd. my other images are even worse

Cloned out a lamp post on the first one by the way, and some people

Everyone knows a hood scoop shaves 2 seconds off your 0-60 time and adds 10 horsepower.

It could also be the front speaker of the sound system ... installed by some moron

Is that digital distortion around the Nameplate or flaws in the paint

 

[Alex_B]

thanks for mentioning, it is less in the original, so I suppose I did the resizing and sharpening a bit carelessly so this got stronger.

I hate to be the first one to say something negitive, but some times if one doesn't say it no one will. I tend to see that type of thing with cars due to an undying need to find any and all rust forming on cars. It's just been beaten into my eyes.

*EDIT*
OH yeah, around parts like the chrome lettering like that is dirt common for rust to develop under the paint
