The only one I can offer crit on is the Mini shot which is very good but the orange marker board and the orange thing above the barrier do take my eye away from the car, as for the rest ....you have a good panning technique

Agreed

Did you desaturate the background of the images somewhat? I have always thought images with subject being red and everything else reduced looked pretty corny.

Btw, solid composition, I might just leave a tad more space in front of the cars you are panning. I dig the angles and you had AMAZING lighting available for photographing the cars. Overcast days are the only days that car shoots tend to work.

That BW porsche came out great but I would recommend some more room because it is kind of a tight crop. Also, when it comes to car ads I have seen, I am not familiar with any done in BW. You need to ask yourself "would a client want that" when creating portfolio images.

nice pan shots

Thanks for that!

Yes I do saturate some pics, and use alot of selective coloring

Actually alot of clients tend to LOVE my b&w pics, when I sold superbike pics from mid ohio, they mainly wanted the b&w

Cheezy spot colouring, but pretty good apart from that
