WOW Beautiful shot. Kinda looks too perfect like it's a 3D model. But it really makes me want to reach out and touch that MINI. I love it! 
Ok now that I'm passed the wow phase some constructive criticism.
1.) It seems a bit soft (looking at edge of Xenon) or could be my monitor?
2.) Not crazy about the composition. To me the crop on the left is just a little too close to the MINI.
3.) And a positive one--that car is gorgeous!

Thanks everyone...the compliments are great encouragement.
-Octangeguy, i agree about the slight softness...i saw it too. What can be done about it?
I usually do the same. It really brings out the stance of the MINI. Just didnt happen to in this picture 
15x7 Konig Rewinds 205/50 Kuhmo Ecsta SPT. They are pretty much mini-lite replicas...and i tend to prefer the old school look 
Here is a pic to show what the wheels look like. (car is not as clean as the other one )

Oh yeah - nice photos!

MCS side skirts in both pics...just not enough light to highlight the bulge in the first pic. I love the mod....almost no one notices, but they can sense a differnce(my favorite kind of mod)
another one(wish the composition was centered)

Well the MCS skirts and bumper covers make a HUGE difference. This is the direction I've been moving with my MC as well. I love the look. Now where the heck did you find a building to match your car????
Nice job.
If you have any camera specs--model, settings, etc.. please share it with us!

The Camera is a Minolta DiMAGE Xt. Not many settings to mess with. I put the white balance on 'cloudy' and turned the flash off. It was set up on a little tripod. Quality was set to 'fine' and size was set to 2048x1536.
I really am debating getting a DSLR. Photography is becoming an interest of mine as i learn how to do it. So being able to set the settings of things like f-stop and the depth of field in digital format would be reall nice.
Richard--The bumper changes are one of my favorite mods...subtle but a huge change. I did it way back when 'Dandp' did it (believe he was first)....its slowly catching on because it really is a nice enhancement. I'm working on making a oem-type custom fiberglass lip, but that is hush hush for now
I really got lucky with this building. It's actually still under construction, and i just happened upon it while i was searching for a place to shoot. When they saw me though, i was escorted off the property
