pics look good, maybe use some more dynamic dackgrounds, crappy places always seem to make cars look amazing, also try less JDM angle and some lower angle photos, it'll look sweet then too

there's something to be said for picking an unconventional angle to shoot cars from, but don't go overboard. people shouldn't have to twist their necks just to figure out what you're trying to show them.

Could just be my monitor, but that first picture looks like your car has no front wheel. Nice pictures, fan of most of the angles. Leave the cheesy captions out though, haha.

i think he's just got his wheel cranked all the way to the left, so you only see the tread and not the face of the wheel

Okay, you asked for some criticism. It's hammer time.

I personally like to have my front wheels always pointed towards the camera. If you have some nice wheels, why not show them off?

I'm also not feeling the angles you shot the pictures at. I'm getting dizzy looking at some of them. When you're doing angles, it would look better if the elements in the picture have a direction or flow to them. The togue shot with the red evo is a good example, and your best pic out of them all. You have the wheels pointed towards the camera and towards the road, the car is angled towards the left and the road curves to the left.

Here is another good example (stolen from Jtuned, I hope the author doesn't mind). Of course there was plenty of post processing done on this one, but let's ignore that for right now. The shot was taken at an angle, but the background elements flow the same direction as the car , which makes it easy on the eyes. Everything moves from the left to the right of the picture.



Here's why I'm getting dizzy:
