    This is going to piss Yokota off, but he's always angry anyway so no matter...

    Poor use of strobes. The 2nd to last shot is decent, but other than that there is very little that is interesting going on as far as contrast & shadows with the way you have the car lit in relation to the camera angle.

    Its hard to tell from such small images but you should have definitely gone with a smaller aperture for the last photo (back of the car is too out of focus for my taste), and not washed the color out so much on the tires/side of the jeep.

    What might have been cool is an interior (to the jeep) light source, or something from behind so that your photo doesn't look like someone applied a fade-to-black linear gradient on the whole thing (which is the point of lighting from different angles, is it not)?

    If this was your first attempt, then sorry if my opinions/criticism sound harsh.

    .

    What do you mean when you say "Behind"?
    Far left side? Or pretty much straight at the camera but behind the jeep?
