Yeah man. Honestly, Im sure you took them all as quick snap shots to just get the pics. But just take an extra second, and frame/compose them better, also keeping in mind where your water mark will be. Keep the horizons level as mush as possible, unless deemed absolutely necessary to tilt it some to either give it an effect that's fitting, or trying to squeeze something in.

The shoot location, there wasnt any other background you could have used/not used? The fence is horrible and is very distracting in your composition of the shots...

I welcome the comments PM your CC's if you have to, but I really would like to know what you have to say.. I am always looking for tips on ways to shoot these type of events...

FYI
The first set of pics were done with point and shoot canon s5is I use it for the on and off I like it for the crowd shots..

The 2nd set was done with nik d5000!

That would be that.. I do not like to photoshop still do not... I like to keep the reflections and stuff, do most of the work in camera, I do us light room to do minor pp, adjust tone etc.

@Michael, Yeah a wall or something in the background may have been better, first thing I asked mike. The other option was to shoot into the sun on the right or have the show (cars, people) in the background... But that's my point you do not have control of these enviroments so you have to adapt.

REMEMBER it is and event shoot, so you have to look at it from that perspective. My major focus for the shoot was to get the cars as clean as possible....

Plan to keep doing them.. it was fun.

Shoot into the sun? You could make that work. Meter it properly. Use a flash/speed light off camera. For the ones you posted, did you use the sun at your back? You know how to use lighting right?

background is whats killing these shots most. but i know you coudnt do anything about it.

also the watermark really needs to go. or just get smaller and in the very corner.

Modz-

What we try to do at our events is pull the vehicle away from everything so that the car stands out among everything else Like in the back of the building etc.
