Took a few new shots last night, and I can't decide which one I want to use for my website. So if you could pick 1, 2, or 3, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
(You might remember the location from the 2006 NAM calendar )
Def #2. Your MINI doesn't look so... erm... "mini"... when the camera is at ground level!

Car #5 in the 2007 Guinness World Record Event Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "GOOD LAWD THAT WUZ FUN!!!"
Well I like #2 or #3...on #1 the bright lights in the distance distract from the subject. Also, the building strongly dominates the MINI, so the subject has less impact.
I like #2 for it's extreme drama as the vectors are very strong, all leading to the subject. The lights on the far right are a bit distracting, but overall it is a more emotional shot w/ a bit of tension.
I like #3 because the intact arch (missing in #2) frames the shot so nicely and draws focus to the subject. The pic almost has a subject within a subject...the arch and the MINI. It is more of an "at rest," balanced composition.

Konky, that's a fantastic location and I really liked your previous photo at that site.
#1 has too much trapezoidal shifts distorting the building making it look odd.
#2 is my favorite if the arch in the far right side is cropped out. I like how the arches frame or draw my eyes to your Mini and then away from it. Nice lines.
#3 is probably how I would have shot this scene getting everything symmetric and aligned. It's a good photo, but is predictable and not as dynamic as #2 (cropped).
That's my $.02.
Have you played with the lens correction in PS2? You may like the results.

#2 and second the cropping suggestion from speednut. See how it looks if you crop just past where the arch lands behind the Mini-looked good when I finger-squinting eye cropped it. Very nice shots!
