check the link .. informational/instructional ..
1) good idea .. on layout .. keep playing w/it ...
2) lose the building and trees ...
3) a bit more lighting ..
I figure you bracketed your shots .. different viewpoints (driverside; 3/4 front; passenger side; rearend; top?)

nice pic, if you want to improve it, keep the same angle, but do it landscape instead of portrate.
very nice shot tho, nice car too.

Needs either the whole rear of the car in the shot, or just side of the car itself then it would be perfect.

everything is art man. Everyone's opinion will be different. I'd personally pull the shot back 10 or 15 feet to get the whole ride with the view. Agreed, nice pic!

That there is purdy... Needs a windy road ahead of it.

Ahh...critics. I love the transparency though, asking what the other owners think.
Personally, I think it is great. If that's the look you were going for, then noone can tell you it wasn't art. Taking the time to produce a photo that you planned like this makes it "art" by default. However, there are some tips from a technical perspective I could give, but then again, that is really all subjective advice as well.
In that scenario, i would have closed the f-stop a few more notches. The exposure time looks good because the details are defined and there is no wash out or overexposure. Often on cloudy days (as it looks like this was) the light can deceive you by appearing to be darker than it really is. Actually, cloudy days provide the best opportunity for taking quality color photographs (and B&W for that matter). But it does make for a neat effect the way you have accented the curves by sort of "blacking out" the darker areas. I know in this photo the car is the focal point, but try to "point" it at something, if you know what I'm saying. Think of a focal point for the car as well, or try to make the backdrop as remote as possible.
GREAT PHOTO! (I like photography if you can't tell)

A:
The only thing right about the picture is the car. Framing and exposure are strictly snapshot.
A:
man, you almost missed the car. step back, pan right, try again.
seriously, if i had a shot like that in my roll of film (with no interesting background and only 1/3 of the car), it'd be left and forgotten in some drawer.
there are some seriously good shots of z's in the wild that you can see in google images. good luck.
A:
Uh, lot of wasted space in that frame. Why not lose some sky and pavement and show the whole car? Don't center the driver. In fact, never put the main focus of any photo in the center. Rule of thirds.
Another hint: if you're going for THE shot, take about 15 pics from the same relative angle. Whole car, partial car, up high, down low. THE shot, when you get it, will jump out at you.
