Superb mate, very clean shots. The first two worked for me, the model in the picture made them a little bit more interesting to look at, as the background is very plain. The focal point is very sharp in each shot.

i really like the fourth shot, but i think it would be even better if you were able to clone out the light pole.

1 and 4 do it for me. I like the reflection on the door in the 4th shot. Nice and sharp as well.

i have had heaps of positive feedback regarding shot 4,
people have mentioned that it is because the headlamp is like an eye, it leads into the photo,
additionally people who have seen it commented on the lamp post and the e-tag, i have to agree it looks nicer with them removed.
other comments i have recieved include replace with an Aston Martin.
but they were not very helpful...

#4 is probably the strongest out of the pics, but i'd prefer to see the entire car with a bit more DOF.

yeah this shoot was a big learning curve for focal depth,
i set the 85mm at 1.4 and went nuts,
now having gotten a feel for the lens and the focal depth i feel confident in playing with it a little more.

Oz,
i'll have my people call your people, now to find myself a tall attractive blond in a bikini to accompany the shoot.
perhaps a couple, we will need them to hold our lenses.
