Wow! that is a neat car! I like 1&3 the best I think 3 is a neat angle.

On a side note, you just put a picture of your self in the window, we did that with our RC car in Science Club at school, theres a picture of my friend holding up his rocket looking mad.

LOL!! Lovely, lovely shots!!

I remember the Citroen (the Lemon, literally) from Europe years back! Great car - had a friend who fitted it with a Porche motor and had to weigh it down with sandbags to get traction..lol.

Those shots are cool and very well done. Your lighting seems a bit yellow - if you went for that look on purpose, ignore me. Some LEDs or Halogen, a changed white balance setting or some post-processing might make your whites more white if that is your desire.

Love your images though! All we need is a small Tin Tin figure in there!

Cheers

Hi Quentin

As said before, I think a less-yellowish lighting would have been perfect.
Also, I find that the second shot is slightly too "narrow", if you see what I mean.

Otherwise, great shots - I see that you're taking advantage of your D80 here

Just to be a nag-bag here - if you really want to direct more focus and attention to your lovely car, you could consider doing it in front of a piece of paper on a white or glass surface.

I appreciate you were just testing out and it came out great. However, the background detracts a little bit from the attention that this lovely vehicle should get and reminds of of the scale, thus detracting from the illusion a little.

Cheers

Yes, you did really well here!! Isn't this fun? You know you captured a lot of detail, and it has the cutest shape to it...I am thinkin, that Lah is right about the way to draw your eye to the car...just by improving the background a little bit...it still stands up to the "Look at it like you were a bee rule"...lol..it goes without saying that there is ALWAYS something that we can improve on..

over all I think these are swell!

Great fin way to show of some really good macro shots. There is just enough on display to tease you to want to see some more and the colours are great. Nice to see something different.
