Honest opinions please peeps!
« on: 06 July 2012, 22:51 »
This is some of my latest work from the last couple months, was just wondering on peoples thoughts on the quality of these images and improvements or anything? Any comments will help.

Nice work.

A couple of thoughts.
The first photo of the red clio, it needs a bit of space around it, it looks too tight too me.
All three shots of the Mk5 Golf have a bit too much foreground, which particularly as the foreground is dark makes the whole photo dark. It looks like you've given space for a load of writing as if it was for a marketing campaign.
The angle of the Fiesta is a bit too far, I don't mind angled shots but it looks sea sick. Rotate it round counter clockwise a bit and crop it to reduce the amount of black background.
Having so much dark background in the image detracts from the real focus of the image.
Finally, the large logo on some of the photos detracts from the image itself.

But I'm being picky, they are good shots. Good lighting (the key to good photography), composition, colour and sharpness.

basically this, technically the photos are all really good but the composition is off on all of them bar the rigged shot.

The BM needs more room on the right hand side, all the silver golf shots have too much leading room you could lose about half of the leading space.  The arrow in front of the golf (second shot) this is a distraction and points the wrong way, either have it pointing directly toward the car or ideal away as if the car is going to follow it.

These are still good photos but could be great.

Much as above - the cars need more space to breathe, but where it's been used it's featureless and quite oppressive.

If you're going to spend as much time setting up your shots, as your work suggests you have, remove the tax discs and other clutter in the car!  Unless it's integral to the photo it shouldn't be in the car.

Everyone's a critic.  At the end of the day they're some very fine looking photos and a lot of time and effort must have been put into them.  :cool:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
