Alright the angle is a bit of a change. As they say the front is the most powerful end. Im glad that you left the windows down and the pillarless doors are perfect for this shot. Personally I hate this particular generation it wasnt as good looking. As far as a car goes its still a good platform.

The background is fine unless you can find a darker road with no brush to the sides.

You had to throw me for a loop on this one. Not your usual style.

Im not so sure I would jump to call it a Hippy Van. Then again someone older then me can probly tell me th oriign of cool beans. I just know I first heard it in high school. As far as the owner I would pin it on a College kid who got it as a freebie from their parents. The van was probly in dire need of a paint job and the kid let the art students have at it. I see it all the time at my college.

I imagine it was bright enough to not use flash. If so it seems as if the camera flashed You can see it in the reflectors, I would have turned it off if possible.

You have to love this one too. The sky relfections are beatiful on the curved surface of the car. I do hate some of the lower reflectons but once again at a car show you really cant have a person with a sheet following you around.

Also with a car show you cant really turn the wheels. It works fine for this photo you and you seem to have a love for this tight crop. I myself have trouble deciding what to crop. If shooting the image for a friend I would have them turn the wheels to meet the lens face. But to too much to cover the white walls.

The car itself is a work of art. The headlamp covers give it a personality. The plate is classic so leavng it in is a good choice. It could be easily removed due to the lack of light surrounding it.

As for the relections they seem to provide the main soruce of illumination. Alot of car photographers will use sheets in a particular color (any would work on this) Primarilly black to create an artifical horizon. This would actually have hurt the photo and its not something people do when just shooting cars. I only say it would be good in the fact the reflection of a wide open space kind of takes away fromt he close crop feeling. But the lighting it provides makes it best to not block out any incoming light.

I love it and have actually see it before in your portfolio i believe.

(Beyond the fact that this shot sucks and the cars fake...)
The lighting is uneven. The front chrome is to the point of being blown or almost blown in the highlight region.

A couple of reflectors would be good. On this paint and this setup body reflections shouldnt be much of a problem. If you run into it though you can use a black sheet held up to create a fake horizon line and to block anything in the background.

The rust on the back rim is distracting. Wheneevr possible turn the front wheels to the rim fully faces the camera. Do not make the mistake of turning the tire to the camera unless your shooting a tire commercial.
