Well, you get what you pay for. <g> My critiques are based solely on  
my own taste. I really like the bold red car against the more pastel  
building. Makes for snappy contrast. Also makes me want to get behind  
the wheel of the car and just drive for a while.

My sense of the second two shots is there's too much car and not  
enough building. All things considered, if I were working on them  
(and I'm not, you are), I'd be tempted to take the first shot, the  
vertical, leave the car alone, and maybe apply some LCE to the  
building and the sky, followed by a gooch more saturation on the non- 
car elements, but not enough to destroy the bold vs. pastel contrast.  
If you use Photoshop, you'd do this in layers so you could use the  
sliders to control the overall effect.

Again, that's just me talking. Everyone's mileage varies. But thanx  
for the great images. Kinda causes a cross between nostalgia and ROAD  
TRIP! inside me. Bit of a conflict, but it'll get worked out. (Makes  
me long for those GTOs I drove in my youth.)
