comments welcome

Anyone, if they are rubbish please say so

Right - I think #1 will always be a bit of a marmite, and I think that gives away enough of my opinion... I see what you're trying to do, but can't say I like it much.

I like #6, but I'm not too keen on the rest - for me, I don't think the framing is quite right - the RR is a bit too much of the grille, but not all, so it doesn't either balance or show the whole.

The de ville looks really good, but again - I'm not too keen on the framing - the light is a bit too close to the top for me - just not quite enough space above I'd say.

So, in summary, there are some really good photos, but I think I'd tweak all of them in terms of framing. The exception is #6, which I think is spot on!

I used to do a lot of car shows and it's really hard to get decent shots without them looking too busy with people and other cars. So I think you did well with them, I like the caddy and the vauxhall (my fave of the set) but the Ferrari is maybe a teeny bit too tight. No.1 looks like you have a giant watermark across the pic and so it doesn't really work for me. I think you needed a better angle for the MGs to get more of the bonnets in. The RR I think maybe needs more of the car itself. Overall not bad (I know the problems lol) but the vauxhall is my fave

thanks guys for the comments, it is interesting how your opinions on the last pic are opposites almost. It is a very difficult environment to get pics I understand there were over 5,000 people there so you can appreciate why some of the croppping is maybe a bit tight also with over 2000 cars on display many were parked very close to each other. thanks for looking and commenting hopefully I will remember the comments for next time
