Nicely done! You picked the right moment with the clouds and everything!

Since you're in Vegas - Nellis and Red Flag area are just around the corner, you ever thought of taking pictures of the car with a fast jet buzzing above? I saw this at a Car and Driver article - and been wanting to do that for a long time:

It's VERY hard to get on Air Force property for a photo shoot (unless you're Top Gear) that said we are in fact working on it or a variation of it. Thanks.

Have you had the car on any of the racing tracks at the Las Vegas International racing complex yet? Nice pic, is it HDR?

Thanks yes at Spring Mountain Motor Sports Ranch. As for HDR nope. Used a Fuji X100s which has a lot of dynamic range built in to one shot.

You may want to join the "SCCA Club Racing" program to test your metal along with your Jaguar F-Type against other drivers and cars in your respective car/race class. Competitive racing is a real test of a driver and car, rather than an open track day were one goes out to have a good time.

After a few SCCA Club Racing events and obtaining a National Competition License, then you will be able to tell what kind of muster that your F-type really has against others cars and yourself as a driver.

You may want to start out with some autocross, then progress to Club Racing which is real racing on real road racing tracks.

Wouldn't it be nice to race that F-Type at California Speedway, Portland International, Sonoma, Miller Race track, or at Inde Motorsports Ranch, all in your area.

The skyline wouldn't pull focus away from the car so much if they were lightened a bit.

yes but then I'd have to reshoot because it was the rare black sky in Vegas that seemed to set the tone for the shot - for me anyway - to each his own
