These were taken up near "The Cats" restaurant in Los Gatos.
Lighting was pretty good today. Slight overcast. 

Which one is so far the beat? 1 thru 4.

I like the picture of your car the most in #4 Mike. But the bright white cat 'growing' out of your car, IMO, hurts the pic.

Thanks for your feedback.

I need picture taking practice.

Maybe time to head over to Pebble Beach and try there.

 :iagree:  I like #3, however I think the cats slightly take away from the car.  That car should be the focus of the photo for sure.  It's a fantastic car!   :inlove:

opinion,

#4 is best.  But I wish you were just 4' to the right.  Where the gate is in the rear window and not the white triangle. And the car wouldn't quite be growing out of the hood if it was just over to the right. Love the angle and like the road in the background.

I like 3 because it is in your face a bit and the cat doesn't show up as well. I agree it would probably look better without the cats at all.

 :stop:   Wrong setting for that car. Take away the distractions that are to close to the car. Place the car in an old brick alley or ... Try to picture the car in it's 69-70 timeline background.   :alan2cents:
     NICE CAR !!! :wowzers:

I am not a fan of cats.  Lots of strays in my neighborhood.

I am a fan of your car.    :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

All of the calendar pics had some sort of decent background.  You live in CA, Im sure they sun will set you up for something one day.  Start scouting a location.  Just before sunset, take some shots.  You already have my vote if we get to vote. :bradsthumb:

This is about photographing Cobras and it is a PDF file, but one of the best references for how to photograph a car I have found.

First picture capture the lines and proportion of the car the best I think. Second picture got the best light and color.

I like #3 best based on the perspective of taken of the car.   The cat peering over the back is the least distracting.  I'd echo prior comments about the statues being too much of a distraction when they dominate the view in the other pictures.

One nitpicky from #3 is the cable (?) or tree branch that looks a bit like a harpoon coming into the car next to the hood near the passenger side hood pin.

Gorgeous car. Thanks for sharing.

Love the background except for the cats. They totally ruin the picture.

I vote for #3. Its a great angle. I think you should duplicate that picture with a different background.
