I really like how you edited it. The backround/sky is perfect Try it next time wihtout the sun shining into your grill and wheels so you can see teh lines of teh car better and just for a better pic. Overcast is a really good time to take pics. Good luck

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I realized that the sun would mess it up being so direct, but I needed the hills and the sky in the background, so i sacraficed the sun... I'll be taking a lot more when I get my D40 next week!

Second picture is awesome.
But the shadows of the fence and of you (lol) are kind of distracting.
