If I remember right, all I did was add a small bit of contrast, and desaturate the car itself.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the combination of contrast adjustment and soft-focus had more to do with the "fake" look than the bounce flash. The spotlight effect certainly enhanced the look, though.

Overall, you've got some very good pics there. I would be mindful of your composition, though - the car is dead-center in the frame for most of the shots. The composition of #6 makes it the best shot out of the bunch, but you jacked the contrast up way too high IMO. The over-editing takes away from the shot, and the vignetting just serves to darken the picture.

Keep it up! Also feel free to visit the Photographers' Corner section of Beyond!

Did you use a tripod for any of these shots?

[SpasticDwarf]

I used a tripod for all of them.

and to BerserkerCatSplat-
Thanks for the constructive crit. recently Ive realized that the rule of thirds is very important, so my latest pics have had more variation. :)
