that first shot would be cool if you shot with a larger aperture to blur out the background a bit.

quick photochop:



see how the cars themselves are now the subject, and they're not lost in the clutter of the background? That and using a CPL to remove the reflections on the windshields and you'd have a real winner. i like your style.

according to the EXIF he's using one of these:



looks like you can control a lot of setting with it which is real good/handy! But being able to get the DOF and CPL would be a little difficult...

The quick photoshop is overdone IMO. Bokeh is great but if you photoshop it, go easy on it so its not to noticeable.

Idk if I woulda posted #4 cuz it looks like the window's are shattered.

Not bad...

I agree lose #4 it the worse of the bunch... I like the first photo as it is, your use of the cars lines and position to create one central focal point is on the button... The photoshop effect succeeds only in separating the cars, you see two cars and not one composition and that's because the effect used is for isolating your subject you see it more in portraits and macro photography.

Learn to use the camera, if your can control the settings, would add a huge improvement to your photos keep up the work man...

Did you modify levels or exposure in last 2? Little too dark to see the car...
