Bone stock. Looks great in the driveway next to my Miata.

Those photos hurt my eyes. Any without extreme post processing?

not that I kept. Thanks for the constructive criticism:rolleyes:. Not everyone likes the same kind of art... I don't like to take photos that look like every other snapshot that everyone else takes. If those photos "hurt your eyes", perhaps your monitor needs to be adjusted.

Heavy PP isn't art. Post these on a photography forum and see how they fare.

My monitor has been adjusted for proper color already, thanks.

Look, I don't want to get into a pissing contest with you just because you don't care for my style of photography, but I do post most of my work on various photography sites and forums, and get quite favorable response on almost all of it. I am an amateur photographer, and have been hired to do weddings, family portrait sessions, sporting events and more.
Additionally, perhaps you've never heard of Ansel Adams, but he was a famous photographer who put just as much work into his post-processing as he put into taking the photo... and he's considered one of the best photographers ever.
Am I comparing myself or my work to Ansel Adams? No. .. I'm simply demonstrating that the post-processing of the photograph is just as important and 'artistic' as taking the photo itself. I understand that HDR photography is not for everyone, nor is photography using unusual angles or wide angle lenses (such as the shot of the Element), but a lot of people DO appreciate it and like it. I consider it to be different than what every other person with a camera will do, giving a different perspective to things we see every day.
I don't know if you are familiar with HDR photography or not, but there's more to it than just the post-processing.. you should Google it.
Any kind of art is very subjective - some people may love it, some people may not. To be honest, out of the thousands of people who have seen my photography over the past 10+ years, you're the very first person who has given me this type of feedback, perhaps that's why I'm taking so much effort to explain myself, I don't know... but I know I've already put too much effort into trying to justify my style of photography to someone who doesn't know how to give constructive criticism

I have no idea what type of photography you are talking about but I love the pics! I'll leave the difficult stuff to you. There was another member who did the same style with his SC and they turned out really awesome too.
