Nice composition.
It would be curious to see the counterbalance between the MINI and that shrub/branch. Do you have any shots with the two facing each other?

Thanks.

No shot facing the shrub, though...

Throwing these on here, my primary mission was to take snow storm pictures, since we hardly get any in Arizona. This spot is in many of my early shots.

scouted a new location yesterday evening and I think I'll be making a few more visits in the coming weeks (it may get crowded once summer hits so need to take advantage while I can)

A very good friend of mine took this of my car, so I can not take the credit for taking the picture!

Nice addition to the thread! Every time I spy clouds like that, I want my camera and my MINI. Trouble is not all three always come together!

Does very late afternoon count?

This is near Strahan, on the west coast of Tasmania (the island state on the southern side of mainland Australia). World Heritage area with buttongrass coastal plains and rugged inland mountains - and some of the world's best MINI roads. (They have an annual tarmac road rally.) We took 10 MINIs on the overnight ferry and spent a week driving on all the great, twisty roads.

I like it, but I'd like it better if the camera were angled down so that the bottom part of the car wasn't cut-off.

I was out driving, unfortunately did not have my camera so my phone had to suffice...

Would have been a beautiful shot with a proper camera.

Finally got my MINI and a sunset in the same place at the same time again.

Great sunrays, but not the greatest composition - I was taking sunset shots at the lake, rushed back to get the MINI in one, then rushed back down to the lake with a tripod as the light faded.

I like it.

I was up in the Adirondacks a few days ago...

I'm enjoying seeing others post pictures here! Got me inspired to try a couple shots.

It's just my driveway, that's why I tried a reflection in the sunroof shot.

The sunroof reflection works very well.

Dawn at the Dutch Brothers , only the crazy Coffee Hooligans meet there every Friday @ 5:30 A.M. - I swear there must be something wrong with us.. but we get decent pics once in a while , I just have to remember to bring the big camera every Friday......
