I like the first 3. The light trail on the second one would be better if it went right across the frame and turned red. The 3rd one could use a little more light on the rear of the car, try dodging it a touch in photoshop perhaps, and also remove the reflection on the boot.
I then lost interest in the next few due to the overly wonky camera angle and poorer framing (people/railings in front of the car etc.).
The 3rd from last would be great if the camera angle was flatter, and the car was framed perfectly within the mouth of the wooden bridge. I'd also photoshop out the kids in the advertisement, as they are distracting. I don't like the last 2 much, due to lack of sharpness of the car.

Just my humble opinions, hope they help smile

Ronal Turbos - lick

Firstly the PH resizing isn't doing you any favours, as it's scrunching the images up and giving nasty jaggy lines. Try resizing to 750px when you post here if you can.

The first few are nice but then they all start to get a bit samey, one of the hard things with shooting a car is getting some sort of variety into a series of pictures.

Regarding the 400D question - if you are serious about your photography then yes, you should upgrade. Then start looking for a buyer for a kidney so you can afford all the other bits and bobs... smile

Look good to me mate.
You have picked a nice interesting location and interesting lighting.
Pat on the back for you.
