Helpful Posts: These images were taken at a festival where there were also a display of vintage cars, notably Ferrari. The lighting was a bit strong and also the wrong time of day for taking photos.
I decided to focus on small parts only. These are the results. C&C most welcome

Re: Cars, close-ups
I like the second one. The reflection from the paint gives a grainy effect to it. Nice.

Re: Cars, close-ups
I agree with Peter. The second one is definitely the strongest of the three.
There are too many distracting elements in the first image, especially some of the light areas near the edges of the frame. The third one goes on a bit too much with the non-standard format (pano format can work, but isn't working as well as it could). With the second image, you've gotten everything right from a technical and compositional standpoint.

Re: Cars, close-ups
For me the second would be better with the whole front headlight.
BTW nice serie.

Re: Cars, close-ups
As well as enough space under the headlight to keep the viewer's eye in the frame...

Re: Cars, close-ups
I agree that the second is the strongest, and I agree that it would have been better if you had left more material at the bottom. The second is IMHO fundamentally different from the first. The second I would see as a real composition--you used the cars to create an image that has interesting lines, textures, and so on. The first really doesn't have that. Why did you stand at that angle? Why did you decide to exclude parts of the steering wheel and dash? It may be me, but I don't see what you were trying to create with that one.
