might pop back down 1. Angle would be nice if it weren't for the sea as a backdrop. Car is underexposed a bit I think.
2. Quite nice and technically seems spot on.
3. Good idea to find some foreground. I suppose if you can find something that frames the car it's even better.
4. Not really on. The white sky and it's reflection makes this a non-starter.
5. Again, not bad. Perhaps try some with car facing the other way? Try with wheel's turned as well?
6. Really nice idea and I admire you for making the effort to trek to the other side of the harbour
, car's a bit small though.
7. Great idea again and good angle. Improvements? Background a little disjointed/distracting. Against just the sky with a filter to darken the sky might have worked better. Or perhaps with the wall of the building behind it.
8. Lovely shot. Did you take a series of this composition? Maybe a slightly tighter framing losing the gate would work? But I do really like it - good the way the steps lead you into the picture. Angle suits the CRX also.
9. Tricky with the light being brighter in the background - not much you could do.
10. Like it although bright sky causing difficulties as well a bit.
I think you may have a Fuji and not sure if you can get a filter set for that. I think from earlier posts you were getting a tripod. If that's the case, it may be worth trying buying a Cokin or similar ND grad. filter or two and just hand-holding them. They are relatively inexpensive and might be very helpful in a lot of the type of shots you're doing. Actually I just found out that the Cokin grads I have are not actually neutral, they are grey so there are probably better options. Perhaps it's worth trying even a really cheapo filter just to see if it would work for you though.
I wish I had as much imagination. I think if I'd taken these I'd probably be happy to have tried some great ideas and come away with that one really nice shot.
