    Great shots!

    I love that last one; nicely composed, great positioning of the car, and the colour is very nice. Well done!

    The last picture is by far the most striking. What lens?

    Many of the pictures are great, but there is simply too much post-processing. If you take good pictures (and it seems you do) there's no need to drastically modify them.

    Agree completely.

    You have talent, but the effects remind me of when Homer Simson built a website - he had every animated icon ever on there, because they were all so cool that together they would make an amazing website. Same with the pictures - artistic effects (whether it be holding the camera at a 45-degree angle, zooming in close to your subject, B&W, sephia effects, etc) should be used VERY sparingly. Out of 100 pics, maybe 1 or 2 tops should have something like that. Unfortunately it seems people often feel that if something is cool once, it's cool 1000 times and it makes the pics hard to look at.

    Hope you dont take it the wrong way, but let the composition, bokeh, and exposure create the drama, not photoshop effects and not weird camera angles.

    I agree with Mike, but some great shots, nonetheless. Which lenses were you using?
