Few steps to the left and a lower angle would've meant you just had cars, grass and sky, as opposed to cars, grass, sky, lamp posts, a bit of tree in front of a house and some view into the distance.

No bad effort there Ford1 ... imo ... could do without the building/trees left of frame ... and lose a bit of grass & sky to emphasise the motors perhaps ... :thinking:

I'm no motor fotor wiz ... but there are some keen guys here will no doubt give you far better pointers ... :thumbs:

Get in close an low.

Its not a bad shot by any means, but:

1. Clone out the dust speck

2. Try to shoot without distracting objects in the background - these could actualy be cloned out - just make sure you get the colours right.

3. Get in lower - if the centre-line of the cars was two-thirds of the way down the frame this would look better - this would also remove the boring green grass in the foreground.

4. Maybe try shooting at a different time of day - possibly around sunrise or sunset - this will give far more interesting light - and may make the sky more interesting too.

Its still not a bad shot. The angle of the cars is good, and the blue sky is very nice. :)

Kev, touch up the Streetfighter bumper, as always they get battered on the leading edge...
Nice shot, and you have some pointers to work on! :)

its a good shot that kev, defo take the shot alot lower down though. i quite often end up laying down when taking photo's of cars as it gives them a more over powering effect.

with the sunsets you've been getting aswell try taking one around that time so you get some good lighting effects.

thats a good shot, but as said , its nice to get down quite low..
