Thanks for the feedback, I was getting worried that nobody had anything to say.

This was shot a bit late, and in the shade so the lighting was difficult to work with. So, I completely agree that the blinding white of the direct sun behind the car is distracting but I wasn't sure how to remove it without spending hours in photoshop. That's my biggest complaint on this.

I would have liked to have gotten more of the building in this shot, which would put the car off to the right, and that probably would have cropped out the sun flare as well.

I got a few from a lower angle, but the engine had been partially melted and drooped down into the engine bay. When I got lower, the engine disappeared into the engine bay. I really wanted to have the engine pulley visible through the front of the car, and couldn't get a good angle any lower than I was.

I think we're on the same page for a lot of these critiques. I'm going to spend the week working on composition, getting the right angle, and framing my photos a bit more effectively. You just rekindled my excitement, thanks!
