not bad but I think the first 2 could use a bit more contrast.
That Bentley looks sick! edit: and perhaps a High Pass filter. Yes, I tried it out

Can't say I'm a huge fan of these. Composition leaves a lot to be desired on all the pictures. #2 seems a little soft.

How tall is he? He seems cramped in the red Chevy.
#4 The hot spot on the Escalade is distracting me, maybe clone that out. |

wow, he wore sweatpants for the shoot?!
Photos look good, I think you did well with what you were given. Out of curiosity, how much time did you spend on location? |

it looks like there was a flash pointed directly at him. But it def needs some contrast for sure

I've learned to adjust and just roll with it. Its more fun that way. Cant get flustered when stuff doesnt go your way. |

QUOTE(Chin.Up @ Aug 19 2011, 12:54 PM) Yeah, donk cars. Over sized wheels on mostly 4 door American cars. Donk took on a generalized definition to include most cars fitting that look. But Donk really refers to the 1971-1976 Chevrolet Impala (and Caprice) It refers to that specific model. Same way E46 refers to specific Bmw 3series models. but to answer Seagram's original question, yes that style is very popular in the Southern United States. |
