its ok

Here's some constructive feedback, don't confuse it for hating.

Overall looks okay, too much burning IMO, focus is off on some of the pics, blues and grays on the car are not balanced.

2nd pic cropping is off, last pic focus and focal point is not on the car and appears blurry. 4th Headlight haze can be fixed with a combination of +sharp, +burn, -dark, +contrast tools.

Just some general feedback to help improve, if you've ever taken a photog class they post it up and everyone rips into it.

I agree with you on everything! Im still learning!

You get better with practice, pay attention to the composition of the pic. I took over 2,000 pics before I started getting used to my camera. Which brings me to my question, did you use a DSLR? Doesn't look like it.

If not that's the first thing to do. A cheap one would be good, a quality lens is what you need. Start taking pics during dawn or near dusk, best time for car photos. Night time pics need more post editting. If taking pics at night don't ignore the background play with it (see pic).

This is a picture I took back in 2007 when I first started taking pics with a DSLR. Black cars at night is a pita to take pics of.

I'm content with my non pitch black photos. First time doing light painting. I'm using a t4i.
