Cool shot! However, I am a big fan of Camaros so I could be a little bias.

I think you've captured the essence of the '68 very well with this composition, but one thing you have to pay VERY close attention to with any car shot is reflections. A stand of trees, a grassy park, the beach, or something else more photogenic than somebody's bike and a yellow house would do much better reflected off the side of the fender and rear quarter glass. (the bike is so close it's throwing a shadow on the upper fender from it's rear view mirror).
You can change the reflection in photoshop, but it'd be easier (and a lot more fun) to take it out for a drive to find an interesting background somewhere close by.

Thanks all!
We are planning to shoot this vehicle properly in the future. This car has great potential. I shot these at another fellow's 30th birthday party on a whim.

Not a bad shot. Like Jet said, gotta watch the reflections.

Not to be discouraging, but though I like the shape in general, this shot really doesn't rise above the pack in terms of a car photograph. Maybe if the ground had stripes, like a racetrack, the reflection showed something important (a guy in a racing suit), or, if there was just some twist to the shot. I think one has to consider the entire environment with shots like this, not just the subject.

Anyway ... I saw my first new Camero on the road today. Looks great, much better than the Mustang or Charger IMO.

That's a great color. I can't wait to see what else you come up with for it.

Beautiful car and great color. I like the angle of the shot and the sparkly on the rim. Only issue is the reflection as already noted.
