Quite obviously, rendering is not where these would suffer
any loss of points.

If there would be an aspect that could be improved, I think
that the location choice is that aspect, as this one does not,
IMO, contribute to the shoot.

I'm very well aware of the work and care you invested in these
but the magic word here is: location!

I didn't see Kodiak's response but my immediate thought was also location. Great for some cars but not a 4x4 in my opinion. Also I don't go for angled shots on the whole but that's more a matter of opinion.

On the other hand, there are always good points to a set of photos and it's easy to see them here.

The exposure is crisp and colours are good, clear and strong. The composition of the first two is good and would be great in the others if you could clone out the rubbish :) My favourite is the second last one and I like the fact that you cannot really see the driver.
 
Agree with the above and the thing that sticks out to me is the reflections off the glass, a polariser might have helped but consideration of this in terms of angles and framing on location would have definitely helped.
 
The cars - I love (big subaru fan), though the milk carton could do with cloning out, the rubbish around there spoils them - though the location is good. On the static images, I would have had the front wheels turned more, probably 30 or more degrees - show off the wheels.

Some close ups of the badges and interior shots would be nice to accompany it as well.

Polariser as others have suggested would remove most of the reflections - use a tripod, multiple shots while changing polariser position and then layering on PS would remove all reflections with a bit of jiggery-pokery-shop-magic.

Other than that, I hope you get more chances to photograph either of those two motors, I'd love to see more and see some re-attempts (y) (y)
 
thank you for the feedback. Iv been out this afternoon to another location and will post up a new thread :)

The CPL and tripod i would agree are a must, but unfortunately they appear to have gone missing since i put my stuff away so they wern't to hand unfortunately. So i need to re buy, but i think a new camera is in order first (5d)

I quite liked the amount of rubbish about, thought it gave it quiet the 'urban' look. But i do agree about the milk carton, ill go back and edit it out.

Note taken about the wheels as well :)

Ill start a new thread from the shots i have done today :)
