Not bad, but the lighting's a bit harsh and the focus a bit soft.

They seem a tad oof - almost to the point of looking as if they were painted. Oh, wait a minute, I see a nice halo effect, did you over sharpen?

Good even bg, but I dont think it adds to the shot. The under car shadows have become too pronounced and detract from the shape of the cars

Not a fan of the white background shots and seems over processed to me.

It's very odd to see the miniature cars parked without any ground as reference

Has a nice nostalgic feel to it but the products (the cars) probably need to be much crisper as far as focus. (Commenting only.)

The "shadows" are very sharp/jagged. However, the colors are nice and bright.

For me the bright white background is overwhelming. Maybe it is my monitor but it is very harsh. The cars could also be a bit sharper. Good luck. a 4 from me.

Nicely presented. Looks like they are standing in the sun in stead of on a table top.
I suppose that the white background has been obtained through PS (or similar application). The shaddow beneath is car is a little hard and the cars are slightly OOF.
The more I look at it, the more I have the feeling that the pp didn't let the photograph turn out as it should.

As you've effectively asked for comments (is it working?) here's mine.

I'm not voting because I'm in this challenge, but I think I would have given you a 5. I like your subject and you've photographed them well, but I think the composition lets it down. I feel you might have been better separating the cars more and having them facing diagonally across the image - that way you would have the large area of negative space at the top.

Hope this is the sort of comment you're looking for.

I love Hot Wheels! Some of them seem a bit out of focus and the car on the left has a bit of the original dark background showing. I have problems in post processing too... looks like we need practice. Good composition overall.
