Holy crap that first shot is amazing, I've never seen anything quite like it before.
The way the rear lights make the triangle against the black wall. It really frames the car and makes it pop out so well with the green car.
I also really like the little flares on the headlights.
Nothing really against the second shot, but the first shot just grabbed my attention and won't let me look away. I just did some night shots of my friends 300zx and I'm going to take some serious inspiration from your style. Not trying to be a copy cat, just inspired by your work.
Very fun concept. I think parking garages make great settings for car and motorcycle shots. The green against the red background in the first photo is pretty cool. I don't care for the light at the top of the photo though. This image might look really good in a long aspect-ratio image, cropped way down into the dark from the top and a bit higher up from the bottom. You just need to make sure there's enough of the floor showing at the bottom that it's readily apparent what it is. But yes, a very cool image. The car is even smiling about it!
In the second, I think the car is too small in the photo, given that it is the focal point. Maybe move it about halfway up to the arrow on the floor? And maybe move closer so the arrow is too far forward to see? I think having a wide enough focal length to keep those pillars and the lights in the shot where they are would be very good (nice framing), and if it puts the car in a shadowed area, fake the missing lights with flashes or something.

Thanks Chris! It's a really easy shot to take and edit. You'll have fun! Don't forget to post them so we can check them out!
