First, you have a lot of great country to work with there.

Here's my take on the various shots:
1) lights off might have been a little better. Also, you probably should have turned your flash on to take the shot (fill flash), because of the heavy shadowing. It looks like the middle of the day which is a hard time to take photos due to the lighting.

2) I like this one, but I think you got a better angle on 3. :smile:

3) Best shot of the series IMO. The only thing I would do is crop off the bottom 1/4 or so. That way you don't see as much of the ground and there is more attention paid to the rest of the composition which is much more interesting. Nice work on this one. Really.

4) A bit underexposed, and like the first one a tough time of day. I'd love to see this shot with the sunlight on the MINI and not in the shadows. (same goes for 1).

5) Your tripod and the flash going off are visible. Also due to the flash the rear reflector is much brighter than it would have been otherwise. Again, this is a problem with the time of day (and time of year), where you're in the shadows a lot. Try to get out again when you can place the car in the sun.

6) I like this shot a lot too. Same as #3, I would crop off a good portion of the bottom so that the attention is on you and your MINI and we don't have all that dead area to look at. Did you take a version of this without your lights on? I'd just be curious to see how that one may have turned out.

Like I said earlier, #3 is v. good. You might try a black and white conversion on it and see what it looks like for fun.

Hope ya don't mind, but I edited #3 based on DiDs suggestion (somewhat). I cropped a bit off the right side in addition to the bottom, plus I boosted the saturation and a bit and reduced the noise in the picture.
