Very, very nice set CFD!
I love the colors and processing, my favorite shoot of yours yet!
Im going to give you some critique, again Im just being nit-picky.
1: I like the colors in the sky, they seem almost borderline not real but I like it, it makes the photo pop. I would like to see more contrast in the pavement and possibly remove the building(s) from the background. The road has a good sense of direction and doesnt look like the car is going 110MPH into a dead end street. I can still see the rig on the rear of the car but thats a minor detail. The car is centered in the shot but it works, your eyes are drawn to many spots in on the car, like the wheels, etc. The tail light does look amber because of the long shutter speed but there isnt much you can do to avoid it.
2: Again, love the sky, almost no hot spots in the sky and the colors in the sky dont seem to fight for attention with the subject. Good job with the transparent layer on the hood, its just subtle enough, fades in, fades out, to show the engine. My only gripe is the car is a little tight to the edge of the photo.
3: Good angle for the car and with the wheels slightly turned. I am wondering what the photo would look like with the car on the other side of the photo but not much else I would want to change with this shot, clean, simple, and effective.
4: Focus is spot on, the curb adds depth to the shot. No complaints here.
5: It does appear to be slightly underexposed but the wheels are bright. If you made a composite image out of this one with a slightly brighter road it may look better but the darker pavement gives the photo a nice “night drive” feeling.
6: The sky and setting sun make you feel like the shot was taken on a nice summer night. I do see a halo around the rear wheel/tire and the front fender/wheel seems bright compared to the rest of the car. The rear of the car is tight to the edge of the shot and I see that damn school bus behind the rear bumper lol.
7: While some will bitch about blown out spots in the sky I am beginning to see them in a new light (no pun intended). If the blown out area of the photo is done with intention it can add to the photo. If you overexposed the pavement and trees and tied it in with the sky I bet it would look very good. I like this background and location, it lets you get a lot of sky and not much for background distractions.
8: This shot isnt doing much for me, however I do like the zero reflections on the cars paint. Was this done with one off camera flash and multiple exposures?
9: Classic rear end shot that cant get old. No reflections on the paint, good time of day, I like it. My only complaints; brick building in the background and the front window is down.
10: Im a sucker for desaturated shots, you did a good job using a wider angle and not making the car look out of proportion for this shot too, overall I really like this image. My favorite of the set.
11: I love the tone of this shot, the colors are great and the subject stands out. The only things I would change would be a lower angle and maybe edit out the building and light pole.
