3 is too distorted. Beautiful shots!!!

 

1 would be the best if you rotate the car (in place) to present a 3/4 frontal view.

 

I like 2 too.

 

The perspective correction (at least I'm assuming there was some digital correction applied) to #3 is making it not be the best of the bunch. The back end of the MINI just looks wrong.

So, #2.

Perhaps show us an un-edited version of #3, or one without the perspective correction - one that still has the barrel distortion of the wide angle lens. Or am I way off in what I think was done to that shot?

 

2.

Do you use a cross-x filter Konky?

Thanks all for your picks, looks like 2 it is!

as far as cropping #2, I kinda like how I cropped it, with your eye starting at the top left following the arch down to the main subject (MINI) then bouncing back up into the next arch, but that's just me. I also didn't want to square of the photo, I like either horizontal or vertical format. I definitely appreciate the constructive critism and feedback. Thank you all!

About the 3rd photo being distorted, it is, It's not from post processing though, I shot it with a wide angle lens (canon 10-22mm)

I understand that photo #3 was a wide angle shot... but where's the barrel distortion? Think fisheye lens at the extreme example? It looks like some sort of post processing has been done to straighten things out.

Like this webpage describes:

It looks like the terms I should have used were fisheye -> rectilinear, not perspective correction.
