Three comments:

1) That's my dream car (although not that color).

B) Nicely exposed, but I don't care for the angle thing.

III) The post is a distraction.

Thanks for showing a good photo of a splendid car.

Thanks for the comment, but I don't understand III. Are you referring to the black space in the background between the two buildings? Unfortunately, it was a very tight space and there was no way I could frame it otherwise.

Yes, that's what I meant, and I did presume that you were well aware of it and had no alternative... no offense meant!

None taken.

I just wanted to make sure I understood correctly.

Here are two more shots with the Cayman S. You can also find out in the test drive an interior 3D panorama .

You've presented that car beautifully; you're adding fuel to the fire (of me wanting one)!

Great images.

In the first, the car is so perfect that the little bit of dirt on the left-rear tire is noticeable. Tiny nit.

In the last one, I only wish it had a little more space on the right... it feels cramped, like the car needs to scoot forward. Symmetrical left-right margins would look better in this one, I think.

Thank you all for the comments. Rodolfo, you are right about the last one. It is cramped, but as I said I was in a really tight space.

As for the dirt on the wheel, I wish I had the time to clean them. We only had the car for around 5 hours, including the actual test drive and the interior panorama. Luckily, the writer had driven this model before.

Great shots. Only thing I don't like is the trademark blurred on the plate, my eyes go right to it. I understand that's the watermark style, but don't do it on the plate.

Thank you all for the comments.

The plate is not photoshopped and the blur is part of the website's logo. People seem to have a problem with that plate. I don't know why. I like it way better than having the original plate or deleting it in postprocessing.

I hope the writing is as good as the images.

Well, you can see for yourself here.

Well, the new PDK transmission is a huge improvement over the Tiptronic. It's really a pleasure. The direct injection is also a big plus, more power better mileage.

I'd rather have the real plate in the pic, but no blur. Blurring of plates is my pet peeve in auto photography, want your plate blurred, don't ask me to take the pic, I refuse.......now back to the Cayman S. I like the 911 better, but it's still a great looking car. Pity I'll never own one.

But that is a physical plate, it's not Photoshopped. It's a piece of plexi or something similar glued over the original plate.

great lighting and great car but the angles are killing me. ok not killing me but I am seeing so many more still shots of cars with over tiltage going on. It makes sense to me on a moving car but not when its just sitting there. plus it looks over done, meaning the angle is too much of an angle.

I do like your choice of backgrounds and i'm not sure how you lit the car but you did it well.

the black posts greatly distracts from the photograph.
I would probably ps off that license plate. It does not help
Nice care, would that works by itself, would avoid distractions imho.
