I like them.

Did you take the pics at about high noon? The sky in the first two pics is pretty non-descript, and the editing is a little extreme. I like the last one though, it has lots of character.

I really like the first, but I can't help thinking it would be better if the BMW badge on the wheel wasn't upside-down. That's really anal, but it catches my eye every time I look at it!

Maybe you could rotate it in photoshop, but you'd have to get rid of the grass!

Love them, especially the second one. I think the first one would look better if the wheel hadn't been at an angle, but I love it in the second one, and I really like how the car becomes darker towards the back because of the reflections. Good work!

You've broken a lot of "rules" but I like them.
Good stuff.

If I would change anything, the second one could be moved left a bit and either angle the car more to reveal the grill or less to make it a profile shot, and the last one seems a tad washed out.

Rules should be broken then originality can shine through images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Lots of processing (which I don't enjoy usually), but I love the first 2!
Third one a bit too yellow for my taste images/smilies/smile.gif
