does this shot work, i had the car parked a little close to the building because of a huge mud puddle so the reflections are a little harsh, but other than that what are tht thoughts on this photo?

is the height i shot from too high? i tried shooting lower from a different angle but i dont know that i like this shot either.

I like the lower angle... but perhaps you went a bit too low? And... I really think the image might benefit from a looser composition... the car is bit close against the frame edge. Consider if the print version was to be matted and framed. Back up a bit... shoot looser... you can always crop a bit tighter in post processing.

i wasnt sure if the grafiti was too busy so i tried to fill more of the frame with the car, do you think that this shot works better being a more loose composition?

Yes and no. That green roof kind of dominates too much of the scene. So... in the end, probably not a good location. :(

thats why i did the tighter crop on the first images. i thought the location had potential to be something cool but in the end it probably isnt the best place.

I think the car looks a bit to dark next to the bright background. Looks like you are using a polarizer, that probably hurts this as it cuts out reflections. Did you take any with out a polarizer? maybe the reflections would be brighter.

I like the angles on the first two :)

i didnt take any without the polarizer because it was still early and i was trying to cut out as much of the background reflection as possible. the car does appear dark which is one of the issues i was having with this shoot.
