I agree a sunset one would look good with the blue car, the sun reflecting off the car, so you don't actually see the sunset.
I like the first one, and the sixth one where you got down low to the car - always much better than just taking a car photo at eye level - we see cars like that all the time.

I've just been busy installing my new printer A compromise - he who pays the bills wanted an all-in one, I wanted a photo printer. So I went for the HP 5280, which accepts the b/w cartridges. So far I am impressed. I will have to get the b/w cartridge and see how weel it does with that, but the phots I've printed so far are great.
Fiona, thankyou for your kind remarks. I love snowdrops and their hidden beauty.
I look forward to seeing some of your flowers!
First the piccies:


And now the question. How do I get the white background white without blowing out the snowdrop? Is it a question of exposure, a light on the background or what? Any suggestions welcome.
Otherwise I shal have to invest in another colour background as black looks good but is a bit hard for such lovely delicate flowers.
It requires a lot of money to pay for the storage needed for photos. Nothing wrong with uploading them to Photobucke or wherever first. Maybe you can hot link from pentaxforums. I know some forums using that software allow it.

AS Hyram said archtiects, and the owners of buildings would pay alot for photos like these.
Maybe you should show them to the people at the conference centre?

Otherwise I suggest you contact a local card shop or similar and see if they would be interested in carrying a small stock of cards with your photos on them - that way if someone really likes a photo they will get in touch to buy a bigger print. It gets you known. I don't know where you live but maybe you could get a link on the local tourist board site if you have good photos of your area.
There a millions of people out there armed with digital cameras all trying to sell their photos. It is a tough world to break into, certainly from your own website.
I wish you much luck!
