I particularly like the silver Ferrari (?) in front the red brick wall. Nice vignetting, and the simple composition works well.

The composition of the Audi shot is nice, but I think the Audi is in sort of a light hole, with the light getting brighter off into the distance. The butt of the minivan doesn't help.

I realize in many cases you take the shot you can get and rarely can you arrange every aspect of the photo. So while you perhaps weren't considering the minivan butt as an integral element of the photo, there wasn't much you could do about it. On the other hand, the real sweet ride in this photo is the minivan, we all know. Why is that silver car in the photo?

The composition/tilt in the Mini photo is really nice. The upper left corner of the white wall is nicely cut out. Great angles. You have a nice eye for interesting locations, backgrounds.

The black & tan car (mmm, beer) is a nice location too. Packard? What is that car? Looking more closely, the oddly modernized house is an interesting (anachronistic) mix with the old car and leaves. The house looks like it's tilted left, maybe due to angle or perspective.

The Mercedes looks like a typical street scene, albeit with a nice wide angle lens. Not as nice to me as the others. I'd like it better without the Porsche behind it.

The angle of the wall behind the Maserati distracts me from the car in that shot.

Great soft light in all of these. That is maybe the most important part of it all.

I realize you didn't ask for detailed feedback. No offense intended, carry on with your good work.
I'm not offended at all. Thanks a lot for the feedback. I don't have any control in these shots, they're all just cars I stumble upon in my commute. Shots such as the Audi, I had other angles of it that didn't expose the car how I wanted it. Things like the angle of the building (Packard and Maserati) are good pointers, thanks for picking up on stuff like that.

And the car is a Packard Clipper. The owner lives in the modern house, and the Packard is his daily.

Again, thanks for the feedback. I'm going to try to get some shoots together this summer.
