Wow.. those are really nice shots.. maybe you should have put a lightly dressed girl next to the car to get moved up in ranking. lol
I like the first photo best, but in it and the second one the car is a bit dark.
The third photo is the one lit best for print, nice compositon, but next time pivot a bit more to the side to the car to loose the "three wheeled car" syndrome.
In any event, it it was a Camaro, I would run them. Nice work!
Good shots. I agree with Steve on the first two photos. I get the feeling in those two that the photographer was taking a picture of the scenery and there just so happened to be a nice car in the shot.
I would have also moved the angle on the third to get rid of the random pole on the right side of the frame.
Love the car btw. Any specs on it?

The 3rd one made the mag right? I seem to remember it.... def the lighting is the issue on the first 2... I don't need to be a magazine editor or pro photog to see that. :)
Nice car and pics!

Lighting issues or not, those are three great photos and the car looks great.

I agree that the first 2 were not lit as well as the should have been.was hoping to go back before the contest deadline but it started raining and it never stopped so we had to send what we had..yes that is an intercooler in the front check uot the build thread project flatliner.hopefully I will be back on track to get some work done soon.the car is in mock up and everything will change still have not taking the body off the frame yet. thanks for the input everyone.

I must say.. that first picture would be epic if the car was lit more.
I think I would have done the shot in two steps. One is what you did there and then, with the camera locked in postion I would have cranked up the car. This would have blown out the background so I would have combined the well lit car with the background in the first image you posted.
Or get some lights. I will say you have a pretty good eye for composition.

I agree wish we could of had more time to light it up.this is done on a bike and walking path and we forgot the ladder so we had to use the trash can that was chained down.I think next time we will try at sunrise for a little more golden glow on the buildings and the car. steve thanks for the input

I agree, the first shot was good. I think if the car was bigger in frame and the lights were on, flash fill on the grill, even maybe a flash in the car to light the interior would have made the shot better. In the future, don't be afraid to shoot in the rain. I have done it a few times it could be pretty cool.
