I see what you were trying to do, accenting the paint on the doors against the colour of your car. However, I think you've pushed the contrast a little too much, especially on Number 3, which would be better if the colours were accentuated without all the shadow.

Thanks for that, all the editing is done on picasa (where the features are some what limited) need to get myself a copy of photo shop. thanks for the views again.

Now I've seen Number 3 is your entry in this month's comp, the post processing makes a little more sense .

LOL, that was added before your comments. Made sure i got it in before hand.

It looks like a good location for a shoot on your car but I would be tempted to go back when the light is less harsh. The shadow of the building has cast your car into a bit too much darkness imo.

Try a day with an overcast sky to get more even light and it should improve the exposure balance between the car and the shed.

I like the panoramic shot a lot btw.

Thanks Matt, to be honest for most of the day it was fairly cloudy, however when i arrived it was glorious!!

Thanks for the tips.
