gentlemen, may i have your opinion on these?
1

I'm a fan of the 1st and 3rd, but on the second one it seems like the car needs a bit more lighting to fit with the background.

# 2 looks like it should be on tire rack where they show you what different wheels would look like on your car. lol

the others are pretty good tho

I like the idea of the backgrounds in 1 and 2 but I would like to see them a little less defined. The gradients are just too harsh overall. I think with proper masking and adding blurring (combo of gaussian, smart and motion) would help out a lot. The actual photography in all three is nothing to write home about.

I like the symmetry in the first photo Although I would've tried to fix the shadow in the main mouth leading into the radiator as it looks a little wierd.

thanks guys, back to the drawing board.

nike, what would you change in terms of the actual photos?

the 1 is a symetry flip of the car ? there is a line on a hood a bit darker then the rest

#1 is close but not quite there. There are some artifacts left from what I can only assume to be cloning on the front bumper and hood. The interior could be brought up a little (not a big issue) to match the background. Also the fall off of focus towards the rear end looks really false since your BG is TACK sharp (since it's fake) but the wing on the car isn't. The reflections in the side of the car and the front bumper should also be removed to match your false BG. Photography wise this is your best shot IMO.

#2 There is no definition to the wheel/tire and there are somewhat random shadows on the car. I'm a huge fan of light fall of on the car (even though it seems most here are apposed to it) but these don't seem intentional. Again this is by no means a "bad shot" but the lighting approach lacks control.

#3 does nothing for me. The white balance is off, your midtones are murky, the background is distracting and the bokeh is very noisy/displeasing. Actually the whole image is rather noisy in the shadow areas, I'm presuming this was grossly under exposed then bumped up in post.

perfect. thanks for the critique.
