Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Yep, need's lower shutter speed, however it's very sharp, and colour of car is vibrant :)

Lower angle on 1st would be cool too, try not to scrape your knuckles though :D

hi methd

the first one is very nice, great exposure for the reflection.

Maybe blur out the background a tad more? Clone out the sign? Burn in the edges?

The half up half down window is kind of distracting to me

im impressed with the second shot here, not an easy shot to get right, and although maybe not quite blurred enough, it still looks great!

Looks good!
I especially like the first and second shots!
Are these type of "moving with the car" shots called 'tracking'?

I love the cleanliness and colours of the car :)

Perhaps watch out for roadsigns which might stick out of the car (like in #1), but not too big an issue.

#2 is the pick for me , looks like something out of a car mag. A little more space in front of the car would have helped imo. :)

cheers for comments :D

i have a better idea now.
instead of sticking my head out the window (and missing a good frame) i'm going to sit the camera at the end of a tripod and stick that out instead, then use a cable release to take the picture while using autofocus tracking.

we were just cruising so it wasn't a planned photo shoot, but i like to take nice photos when i do. forgot all about signs and such as i was trying to work out a balance between panning/sharpness/shutter speed.
