Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Following the big post from newcomer Shane (sikx5) I thought I would post my first processed effort from the brisbane motorshow.
I wasn't sure whether they would welcome people taking lots of photos but in fact there were photographers of all kinds (P&S, mobile phones, SLRs) at every car. And people were very careful to walk around you as you sprawled on the ground to get that perfect grill image.
I felt more comfortable shooting there than any other place I've been to lately 
Edit: Link for slightly larger pic

Rebecca,
These are nicely composed, very clear shots. What lens did you use?
Don't go much for the borders, though.
Cheers

I like the borders, it really does bring out the "lines" aspect of these images. Now this to me crosses the line from photography to art.

excellent work on this. think you've really done a good job going the extra mile to make it an artpiece.
I'm no expert but IMHO the borders are an excellent idea which I think provide a good step between the vibrant colours/sharp lines you have chosen in your images and the white canvas that flows between the three images.

Thanks for your feedback everybody 
The images were all taken with the kit lens - I considered that as I was taking 'detail' shots I should get out my Tamron 70-300 but in reality if you used a longer lens people would just walk in front of you. So I stuck with the kit and got as close as I could.
Hope I don't bore you with a variation on the theme - as much as I loved the BW shot I thought the triptych idea might hang together better if they were all detail shots and all strong colour - so here is my amended piece.
Regards
Rebecca

Rebecca, the images are nice, but the copyright smack in the middle bothers me. I much prefer it on the bottom in a smaller font even if it was a more prominent watermark.
