It appears you are also parked completely under tree cover...that may be an uphill battle that even lighting can't fix. It needs to out in the open, no direct sunlight and with a neat/unique background. That background is nice...is there anywhere nearby that is not under cover of the trees?

Cool backdrop! If you reshoot....be sure to clean off the tire surface from the gravel/dirt once you get it set in place. Even use some tire shine if you want
BTW...I am in no way a photographer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night Actually I'm just fortunate to have a really good DSLR camera and some coaching from a few photogs and a couple reputable magazine editors.

Here's my second shoot. This is the best one, but not there yet.
Took my wife's suggestion, just put the tires on one side.
We have to listen to the girls at times, they got brains behind those pretty faces.
So I have white walls on one side, and white letters on the other.

OK, Here's another shot. This was a little after sunrise. The other location with the water had cars parked there to fish.

This might help a bit as an example. I'm not very good at photography, but one evening, I noticed how the light (or lack of it) made the paint look. I was pretty pleased with the result.
Now, here's a different pic from another angle, I like how it looks, but with the shadows falling across the car, it's just not an ideal photo that shows the car off very well:

Just making sure you all know, the actual full resolution pics needed to emailed per the instructions for consideration....they can't be pulled off of this thread for use since they get compressed.
