First, just picking two photos was challenging since there were many that spoke to me, but these two photos spoke the loudest. My favorite out of these two is the bottom photo (full shot of front). If I had been thinking I should have removed the license plates before shooting, but didn't. I feel in some respect it takes away from the alluring features of the car, but at the same time it makes a statement that the car is from Vermont. The reason I like this one the best is that the car really seems to be alive, that life is just running through the car. I really like the how the photos captured the lines and curves of the car. They are clean, sophisticated and sexy. I feel like both photos draw the viewer in, making them want more the fantasy (and of what is up to each individual). I noticed afterwards that the sunlight shifts from the right side of the hood in the full view to the left side of the hood in the front view. In the front view I was able to fill almost 100% of the photo with the car itself, whereas with the full view I could only take it in so far before I would loose some part of the car. In the full view I also see more shadows on the ground from the car. In the full view I am able to clearly make out the left front tire, but in the front view it is lost in the darkness. Both shoots were taken while I sat on the ground, but to me the front view makes the car seem or look bigger/wider than the the full view. From this angle both photos give me the sensation that they are moving, rather than just being parked.

FYI, the purple text on black background isn't visible at all; I had to highlight it to read your post. The car shots look great though. The first does look like it's moving, all you needed was a few leaves blowing off the back tires.
I agree with Jay on the purple but I love the car. I like cars...mostly foreign but I have always said if I had to own an American car it would be a vet (stingray) :) My father-in-law has a silver 08 and it is pretty sweet! Nice Shots!
Lisa:
I took some photos of a mustang similar to these because I thought it was smiling. There were so many bugs on it though I thought the car would be embarrassed that it was "seen" that way. Yes the second photo makes the car seem like it has personality. And great observation about how much of the car you were able to get into the first shot!
Jay and Christina -Thanks for the feedback on the colors. I had no trouble reading it on my screen so I assumed it was okay. I will definitely use a lighter color. Let me know if the next one is or isn't better.
Karen - I actually had to wash my car before I took the photos. IT was SO dirty!! so I was able to accomplish two tasks.. : )
