It was really time for me to really post process my photos in photoshop instead of the Nikon ViewNX program. I was used to fast processing using just the color booster for everything. I watched a few videos on photoshop and i must say that i am alot happier with the contrast, composition, and exposure of these photos. Let me know what you guys think I still think they could be a little more vibrant though, any suggestions appreciated!

nice pics. one thing with your locations, watch for stuff on the ground like grates and lines. if you can clone them out or something. bc your car is all shiny black, the reflections sometimes take away from it.

PP on this set is definitely an improvement over previous photos, nice work. Ride looks sick.

Generally, post processed vignetting is used for subject isolation when there is a "busy" background, which none of these really have. In camera vignetting is typically avoided.

It does add a nice isolation affect, and I do it, too. Just ease up on it.

The reflections in these pictures are not a problem at all. They aren't distracting. You want some reflection, just like these. Otherwise the car's paint and the picture overall will seem "flat."

^That last photo offers a nice backdrop. I would have cloned out the letter in the background on the truck for a "cleaner" background.
