You're certainly developing your style into an easily recognizable one. 👍 It's like PGR3 style with extra soft focus and cool angles.
In that pic in particular, I like the brightness of the car against the background and how the rest of the cars are out of focus. I just have to wonder, what is "KS?"

Thanks MINI, in this shot, I took it with the highest settings of apeture and shutter, so the picture would as sharp as possible. The blur in the background is simple gaussian. And I put a soft glow on the entire shot to make all the whites pop a little more.
And "KS" would be my intials. My name is Kory Strickland, I'm actually thinking about quitting this account and starting another one with my first name.

nice shot!! i love how the black and white totally goes together in this shot.
even the border looks great on it too. it does look like those PGR3 shots.
one thing though, you should have held back on the diffuse glow a little bit,
but then it works anyways. looks like a nice, cold foggy day of racing. i love how you can see thru the window of the car though. the spoiler made me think it was showing a c pillar bar or something
great work man!!

I could've swore I had commented on your tournament shot yesterday, but it's not here...
Anyway, I think it's a well composed shot, with a good angle and nice colors, but it has something that doesn't work for me, which is the car's excessive (IMO) blur, it appears to be somewhat muddy.
Now, that Skyline is really cool, I like how all the tones seem very natural, and the work you did with the gaussian creates more of a 3D effect, making the Skyline really stand out.
It's very well defined, even with the glow, and the lighting on the shot is just sweet.
Good 'realistic' pic. Very well done, Kory! 👍

Really nice shot, I like the clean and like you said, pristine look the skyline has. It could be a bit sharper, but it still looks great. Great effect with the blur too.
I have always liked your style, right from when you started your gallery.
It's funny, looking back. My first post here was post #4.
Keep up the great work buddy. 👍
You should just get Premium if you have the money so you can change your name.

I actually turned the diffuse glow down alot, but I didn't want to lose the complete effect. With the glow, it sorta reminds me of an angel, with a sort of "holy glow" coming from it.nice shot!! i love how the black and white totally goes together in this shot.

Yeah, the chaser is pretty blurry, after looking at it repeatedly, it lokks worse and worse.
I wanted the skyline to pop alot, like you said, so I barely touched it, so I wouldn't mess it up with blurs.

As soon as I took the shot in GT4, I knew it would be great, this car barely had any jaggys. Yeah, you were one of the first to come here, and I'm glad too.
I was going to get premium, me and Jordan had something worked out because I didn't have paypal or a bank account, and my parents wouldn't do it for me, but the day before I was going to send my money, my truck started acting up and I had to spend my cash on it. So I'm stuck with just regular for now.

Nice shot. Don't you love it when you take a shot in photomode and it comes out so nice. I know I do.

Thanks NTX.👍Yep, this shot is great!!! The angle is perfect, and the shot is "soft" looking...very beautiful!!
Well done mate
Yeah it does help. The funny thing is, I was in the green RUF, planning on taking shots of it, I just came across this angle and the skyline was irresistable.
Oh yeah, its a great feeling, you just know right of; thats a great shot.
And I'll be sure to drop all y'alls gallerys as soon as I can.👍

Yeah, I would of liked to request something. 
For future reference, I would of requested any RUF getting sideways. 👍

Funny you should ask that lmracer, I was about to post a preview of yours. I just got this one done, I think I have two others that I should be able to post tomorrow.👍
Here are the Randoms
And I must give a HUGE thanks to 440 Charger and his motion blur guide.👍
:EDIT: I hope I understood your request right, it was slightly confusing.
