I also like #2, but like mentioned, the lighting is a bit off.

I like 3. Have 'em enlarge the part around the car and crop the excess at the edges.

I ain't no David Bailey, but...

No1 for me!

The tyre angle maybe a no, no technically, but it looks like the car was slewed to a stop after some "drive-it-like-you-stole-it" shenanigans.
And the black lines emphisise that idea.

In other words it looks like its been driven as sports cars should be.

The more I look at it, the more I like it...I dont have any good photo editing software...can anyone lighten the shadows while not losing the green and blue colors? Sure would appreciate it

I like #4. The lighting is good and it shows the sexy curves of the C3.

Red73, nice rework of pic #2. THAT is the winner.

Even if you cropped #3 to focus more on the car would work. Rod

Thought I'd give it a try . . . . .

Just very subtle differences between the two . . . . .

They both look great. I also noticed the difference in what I see in photoshop vs. what shows up on the forum!

These are really nice photo shops... I like this angle and agree with most about the shadow... it is a NO NO... but this picture is this very much a pleasure to look at.

I think photo Number 1 and 4 have the best lighting... (REAL SUNLIGHT) However photo #1 with the tires turned doesn't look right... because of the front tires. And photo #4... its a convertible... top should be down...

OBTW.... nice burn marks in the background

Gents...thanks for the photo work...it looks pretty sweet without the shadow

...and the others cropped look pretty darn good too.

When I get back out to that picture spot I will try to line up on the skid marks again

and turn the wheels the right way next time

I think most tend to favor the second photo (even though it is too dark) because it follows more closely the "Rule of Thirds", whereas the other photos have the car centered in the photo.

Before you go out and take more pics, you might want to read this, it may help with when to take pics, lighting, etc....
