Interesting model (if you could lose that Experian Automotive sticker on the door - ha!). These kinds of shots are hard to do well, and this is well done. You've used good DOF to remove detail from the wall at the rear of the model, and the only hot spot you've picked up from the office lights is below the side rear window. You've got a bit of shadow from the open door on the name plate. Not sure you could do much better in situ.
We've got someone in the subdivision that has a GTO Judge - looks to be about the same year. I get to see it from time to time when he pulls it out of the garage for a bath or whatever.

Nice bike. Didn't expect the blue from the sepia shot. This looks like the grass above the bike has been cloned - it looks like a flat vertical rather than a lawn fading away into the distance. Notice how widely spaced the light / dark patches are in the upper right of the shot, and how close and dense the light / dark patches are above the bike.
When cloning a large area, I use as large a brush as possible and pull from the same depth in the shot if I can. I also spot from a different source over strong features that are repeated so it looks more natural. I have also been known to clone from a different picture in the same general area that has more to work with - that can be tricky because lighting can be so different from shot to shot - even when shot from the same place.

Bit different perspective. Like the sepia. Harley Davidson blends a bit too much with the grass. Did you fuzz the license? I've taken to editing them into a different number, but leaving them sharp because people expect to see recognizable numbers / letters there.

Very nice. Reminds me of going 4-wheeling in the Oregon Coastal Range (of course, our trucks didn't look this nice - they'd had a few encounters with stumps, etc.). Love the blue sky, the spot of purple flowers, and the evergreens and hills.
