Default Few professional shots...

I have a friend who is a professional photographer (comes in handy ALL THE TIME!). She borrowed my car while I was in Vegas so she could get a few shots of it. Let me know what you think.....

Cool pics. I like the second one, from a photography standpoint it probably makes sense. Just don't ask me to explain it!

Here's a few free tips to your friend from someone that did pro photography for 10+ years:
* The magic happens in the camera, not in Photoshop
* Never, ever, _ever_, modify the image (apart from levels, cropping and rotation)
(This refers to the lens-flare)
* Blown-out images with the contrast turned up to max (and then some) looks "cool" to the untrained eye, but fellow photographers will loose all respect for you.

Apart from that, nice pictures. I like the crop on the second image especially.

I like the 2nd picture. Gets a little noise on the bumper tho.

Swede - What about removing poles you didn't notice until afterwards? I think if its something small like that it's alright.

IMHO, cropping and lens flare on the first are a little odd; I do like the stylization of the second one.

Agreed

I had a neighbor who Photographed houses, he'd spend 100 to 5,000 for lenses, that would create the desired results, not photoshop.
