Great looking ride and nice pics -- thanks for sharing!

I'm no photographer, but try to pick up tips here and there. I always pay attention to where the sun is, the glare from the windows (which you avoided nicely) and what the back-ground is. You want the focus on your ride and I would say you also achieved that. Considering what Richard wrote above, you did well for your grey paint not to get lost with the grey of the tarmac, which was achieved by the pretty consistant "green wall" in the back ground.

Keep those pics coming and hopefully some experts can put some more tips in here, so that I can also pick up some more ideas for my next photoshoot!!

I think I like your old wheels better, believe it or not. I'm all about contrast. Outside of that though, your car is hands down the best looking 535 on this board. Looks AWESOME! Very tastefully done.
