Message Dont shoot cars on grass, its just one of those no no's we as photographers have on that imaginary list of standards we carry around in our heads. ;-) The only time grass works, and I stress only time is when you have a very vibrantly colored vehicle such as a red pasta rocket contrasted against very green, very dense short cropped grass such as you would find on a golf course.

Secondly, I would really keep an eye on my levels, contrast and saturation levels. Its one thing to go for an effect, such as the use of a warming filter or Sepia but if it gets to far askew it just creates a drab discoloration that distorts detail.

You may also want to keep a tighter crop on your intended subject. I see in some shots you did a very good job of this, but in others the eye is drawn elsewhere than the intended subject; the car.

Just some advice, take it with a grain of salt and enjoy shooting!

Recursively Yours,
