Default today's 'photoshoot'

Well I finally got a chance to spend some time on my own car recently. Which was much needed after putting 1700 miles on it in 10 days. I washed, clayed, buffed (Porter Cable/Orange Pad/TC-8 Swirl Cutter) and put a coat of TC-3 Polish/Sealant on it so I wanted to get some decent pictures of it. So a buddy and I went out today and I took these...what do you think?
