You asked, So I will reply.
I think the pictures would of been much better without the model, With the thong hanging out doesn't show me anything, You have a nice Vette and the way the girl is dressed just ruined it.
Just my opinion.

Great pictures. Are there any more?

BTW, A little creative criticism is OK, but some of the responses on this forum are brutal.

This is obviously not a professional photo shoot, just some fun shots with his girl and his car.

the second pic other then the obvious, the girls hands looks like shes squeezing the tail lights because she falling.

the third is way to much darkness. if you wanted to selectively darken certain parts thats fine but you can barely see the girls face.

you also dont need such a prominent watermark.

i also agree that the model wasn't needed and took away from a nice looking picture/car....but this what i took away from it and this is just my opinion of a certain quality of what should be posted on this forum. To me this is tasteless, but to each their own.

What do you think?
Not too bad

But since you are asking what we think... my suggestions would be to avoid other cars or non-landscape objects in the background; and the first pic focuses too much on her fingers and detracts from the obvious intended focal point, also have her relax her fingers rather than looking like she's holding on for dear life.

Wonder how long this will last with that second pic?

Nice car, but lose the model.

I can appreciate the creative effort here, but being that you asked for opinions...here's my 2 cents worth:

pic 1 - is not a very flattering shot of anything. And the girl's hand seems way out of proportion...again not very flattering at all.

pic 2 - just not classy enough for my taste. And as others have pointed out...block out the shot before shooting. Set the stage; the background. That other car in there says "snapshot" / "amateur photographer"

pic 3 - OK concept, but poor execution. What is that pic supposed to be conveying? The car isn't well represented; the girl isn't well represented...the only thing that stands out is Pabs Pics \\//.

Keep working it...nothing wrong with trying to be creative.

Nice car, cute girl. Pics came out too dark. There is no doubt you have a great looking Vette, however the pics don't do it any justice. Try to showcase the car more and have your girl in there like the cherry on the cake rather than trying to steal the shot away from the car. A+ for effort though!
