Overall comment: the water is just deep enough that it makes it appear that you are taking photos of your flat tire.

Photo 1: I like the clouds, but you should back up more and zoom in. That way your own reflection won't be as prominent in the photo.

Photo 2: The angle isn't doing much for me, but I do like the concept of having the water reflected off of the blue paint.

Photo 3: angle wise, this one works best for me, but I think it would be improved by showing the whole car.

Interesting experiment BTW. It makes me want to play around with water and reflections.

Dave

Nice overall the only thing I'd like to see is more detail in the headlight.

My first reaction to Pic 2 was the same as Dave's- a flat tire.
If I can make another suggestion . . . if your camera has the capability, you might also try using a very slow shutter speed to show the water movement. (What camera did you use btw?) Of course you'd need a tripod for something like that but it'd look cool. That way it'd lessen the flat tire look.

So where was this shot? Good location. I like the blue.

Oooh. Can't wait to see that! I'm a sucker for reflection shots, especially with water.

too bad there's not a lot of water near me :( I feel like running out and finding some too!!!!

Good Effort, I think you're coming along nicely! maybe even up the contrast just a tad
