really like the anti-shine treatment you gave it (the car that is)...
comp-wise, 2 things i personally don't prefer (MO of course) - (a) angled shots; (b) car fills too much of the frame
first shot emphasizes a sweet front end on that car...but maybe straightening to portrait orientation with the same nice BG blur...also, turned wheels make sense to me for front-quarter shots, but don't do it for me from the rear if the wheel is going to get cut off by the body....my few cents i suppose =-)
I've yet to ride in a Mini...=-(
Wanted by another driver!
