I'm new to this site and I'd rather just have pictures up from people I meet and photograph from this site, so I just slapped up a few until I can get replacement pictures......  I'm transitioning from shooting wildlife and landscapes, to people.. commence the stoning. Thanks.

I tried throwing rocks at you photos, but I broke my monitor!

Over all I like the feel of the photo, only change would be to move models left elbow toward back of car so it is not pointed at camera

This one just feels off, not a fan of the background showing through drivers window.
I really want to see models right foot because you are showing so much leg, due to pose you are making her midsection appear larger than life.
[Crazy pose idea, have her sit on passenger floor, legs extended up toward ceiling, also would love to see her eyes]

A bit more smile, again the background is a bit distracting

I wish you well

I think this isn't garnering many replies just due to it being just a few images.  The biggest thing I see to watch out for are your backgrounds/location/framing.    Blue convertible - shut those car hoods!  Sitting/blue dress - amputated feet, and she's jammed up against the edge of the frame...awkward pose, it's just a lot of chaos in general in there.  Green car - maybe some BG cleanup.
