alright, since i've got nothing better to do, i'll give a proper critique
3 typical
4 nice... watch the focal point
5 eh
6 decent... looks stockish
7 good (although looks awkward cropped near the rest of the fullsizers
8 ok
9 more macros....
10 i like the idea, but needs better environment
11 ok
12 blah
13 blah
next set
1 cool
2 shop out the blemishes, it's got to be messy to prove a point or clean
3 ok, but eye is drawn to the yellowish corner
4?
5 don't like composition
6 car is at a slight angle
next set
not a fan of much in this set
next set (starts with water beads)
1 great idea, composition is lackluster, but cool subject
2 cute... seriously coolish
3 blah
next set
1 i like a lot. I think it's a prime example of how to take a cool car shot. you miss the yellow tint and the lack of a defined focal objective because the composition is cool and the subject is great. i'm nitpicking to find anything wrong with this imo, it's a cool photo. I could see it in a mag or on a calendar
2 the road perspective doesn't seem even. it seems like the camera's tilted, but that can be corrected in PS. other than that, sweet photo
3 composition isn't great, but the subject is. great idea. great distance, etc.
4 very cool. interesting angle. great composition. good one. i love how it leads your eyes down the road. i love how it leaves you wondering about what the car is doing crooked across the lanes. probably the only photo that evoked emotion... which is great.
next one is nice
32 crooked, straighten that ish out
33 same deal. take that at night and it'd be a bomb photo
so.. i know i was being really critical, and that it's hard to produce a masterpiece. I guess overall, you made progress really quickly. I think you realized that the environment the car is in really helps produce a more interesting photo. You've got lighting down very well. You fixed saturation issues. Composition is the hardest but I'd say you're well on your way man. Good work!
