PHOTOSHOOT: New pics of the TA Well after a quick wash yesterday, I decided to drive around to some spots that I've been scoping out for a while. BTW the sky was perfect, a cloud would loom in front of the sun every once in a while to create the perfect lighting. I'll quick rambling and get on with the pics now lol.

And after I was done editing, I played around with #5 and put a border with a logo I made up. Also, I took out the handicapped sign
Enjoy!

Black is a very difficult color to shoot and a black car with black wheels is a handful my friend. Thats a pretty good set of pictures. The car is looking clean. Here is my CC (constructive criticism) on them...
#1 - Overall the composition is good. I would have played with the shadows/highlights a bit and clone tooled out some of the debris on the ground around that car that can distract the eye a little but overall its a solid shot.
#2 - Same as #1
#3 - Same as #1
#4 - I like the overal location but a tree is coming out of your roof. I would have repositioned the car and took the shot at the same angle but where the horizon line and those trees in the far background were above the car. Then I may or may not have clone tooled those out but thats alot of trees to take out without making the picture with alot of places to mess up so I probably just would have left them above the horizon line if I couldn't get them all out cleanly.
#5 - Your edit took care of my biggest problem (the handicap sign) and there really isn't much you can do about your backgrounds when you're going for reflection shots since you have to shoot where the water is so I really dont notice the tree.
#6 - I really like the feel of the shot. The trees cast a bit of a distracting shadow on the road and the car but I'm nitpicking at this point. The only thing I would have done differently would be to adjust shadows/highlights to bring the clouds out a bit more (be careful, it can introduce noise/grain into the shot).
Overall though they're solid shots. What camera were you using, what mode were you shooting in, and do you remember any of your other settings like ISO or white balance?

Thanks guys for the kind words!
Josh, I'll use your advice next shoot I do, also thanks for the advice/comments! The camera is a Sony CyberShot DSC-W30 6.0MP , it's pretty much just a nice point-and-shoot digital camera. The only settings I adjusted on the camera itself was the ISO which was 400, the rest I adjusted in photoshop. I'm going to mess around with #6 more and try to darken it up some and bring out the clouds more.

Thanks to the guys with POSITIVE comments! lol.
Josh, I didn't know at the time what a good setting was but now that i've read in your sticky that 100 is a nice and low setting, I'll try that next time.
'Trust', Thanks alot for the kind words! I've always loved your car and it's one of if not THE cleanest flat hood TA i've seen, so it means alot coming from you.
And thanks to Stretch, 2001somWs6, and dj2005!
