Default First "Professional" Shoot, Critique and Comments Please (w/ link to picture thread)

So recently I decided to start doing "for money" work for local guys. I'm not making mega bucks off of them, just a few bucks to keep me interested and from getting burnt out on all the work involved (generally a few hours shooting and more than a few hours in post-processing not to mention the cost of discs and mailing and all the other little stuff). They get some quality photographs of their cars out of it and I get to make a little so as not to feel like its so much of a chore and I get to have fun shooting different cars. I just did my first shoot today and have St. Patrick's Day cookout plans but I did have time to edit up one picture. Comments and critique very welcomed.




EDIT: Link to the rest of the pictures I edited for the web from the shoot...

That is a cool picture! I would have never thought of a picture like that. I would like to get into photography just for fun.

Where's the car? Hard to base an opinion on one shot of a wheel.

Car was a V6 93-97 Camaro. I haven't edited any of the other shots yet. Just had time to knock that one out and thought it was decent.
