My object is to display 'form' basic shapes, lines, curves.

This photograph taken on the weekend I like, but I cant work out how to crop it in a way that will show that to its fullest effect

Any assistance guys? Or is it best the way it is? I HATE my reflection but I'm unsure how to remove that also

Kris, my approach to this one would have been a different composition.

Taken from more of an acute angle (more from the front) and a much lower perspective (probably eye level with the V8 badge). I would have tried a fairly narrow DOF and focused on the Ford badge on the bonnet (hood). This would have given the lines of the fenders, hood leading back into the frame and also the front center line would have been vertical. This would have shown how Ford incorporated the V8 logo into the lines of the car.

With this photo I would straighten it up for starters, ideally you want to clone out your shadow, and specifically off of the Ford badge!

In reality I think you are missing the strongest curves and lines this car has to offer with this composition.

Obviously this is my opinion on what I would do to emphasis your stated objective.

Agree totally. It's a pretty awful shot

Do you think I can make it work at all? I need to spend more time composing my shots rather then firing..

Not awful, just not ideal. You can work with it but there is a bit of PP needed to achieve what _I_ think you want out of it.

When you mention straighen, which part? I'm confused whats uneven..

Rotate counter-clockwise about 5 - 10 degrees or so is what I meant.
