I thought I had commented on the Prius but it's not here...

You really are becoming a master of color usage, I think it's awesome the way you colorize your shots, they're so vibrant. What did you use for coloring on that one? and that sun ray thing, did you do it? Looks awesome and composes the image really well.

Now, the Z's entry. Boy, does that suck or what?...

:lol: Just kidding, mate! 👍 Although the tones are not realistic (although very nice as always), it somehow feels like a very realistic image to me.
There's a great sense of 3D, the car nearer by is extremely clean (did you spend much time cleaning it?), and I love the glow through the tree branches on the back. Is that Tokyo?

Looking nice, good luck in the comp! 👍
 
That is a very nice entry Loon, great work with the tone and colour of the image as usual. What do you do to get your colours? Gradient maps, colour overlays, colour balance, channel mixer? Tell me your secrets. :D
The car looks great, the like the look of the road and background too.
Great shot, keep it up and as Beerzy said "good luck in the competition". 👍

Also check out my gallery, finally going to get your update up. ;)

I used a layer on it. I doubled the layers an done the second layer I used color rotation map and made it all a pink and red color, then made it 100% brighter. I copy that onto the original layers box and set it to hard light to make it soo bright. And the sun is in game, I just found it.

The Z was sort of unusual for me because I've never used such extreme colors on a shot before, but I like the way it came out. I spent a god bit of time smoothing it out where the colors shift so much, like on the hood, that took a little while because I had to use a fairly small brush. It is Tokyo.👍

My secrets huh? I usually use layers of the pictures with different colors on them. I normally just use the channel mixer but on this one I did a gradient map followed by a lot of the channel mixer.
 
i dont remember seeing that prius shot before. but it's got such great colors.
and the composition is great too. your comp entry is very nice as well. it could pass for a street racing movie cover. well done man. hope the comp goes well for you.

Just a quick reply (because I´m busy)...Great battle shot Loon, shows how U improved.

Well done:)
 
Very nice Loon, anyway the things I love most in that shot is the colours and the lighting.
 
Very nice shot, I loved it the moment I saw it. :)

I love the composition, the angle, the cars, the colors... Like I said before, you're REALLY good at color usage. 👍
 
Ditto!

The colours, angle and lighting all add to make a shot that's perfect.

I love it!

Great choice of cars for a great photo! :) 👍
 
wow nice loon, i love the variety of colours and even though this shot is from the back, those cars look like they are really racing well done :)
 
I must say those shots are insanely good. I really really like them, they look realer than reality itself! I really like how you've composed them and the levels of light. I look forward to seeing more of them!
 
Hey thanks for all the great comments guys, I really appreciate it.

Only a bit ago I saw a bunch of people doing XB's and similar type cars so I decided to see what I could come up with using one of these cars.

So here you go, xB done Looney style.

 
nice shot loon! I like the reflections on the rim and the bumper. It's great you've made a cool shot of a car that's been frequently used lately.;)

I've never seen what these people liked about this car, but now I'm beginning to understand.(I think)
 
The gaussian should have ended up a bit earlier, it overlaps the focused part of the back of the car. But that's just a detail.

It is a pretty cool shot, nice angle, love the colors. And especially those rims, I have them on a few cars too, they look stupendous in phototravel. 👍

Did you do anything to the headlight? Looks very realistic. Great work once again, dude!
 
The Tourney entry is really well done Loon, nice control of the colour and light. The glow is a nice touch.

The Xb looks sweet, not to sure about the Lens Flare though.
The blur is done well and the colours as always look good. Those rims look sweet, don't think I have ever used them. I think I'll have to give them a try.
Good work buddy, keep it up and good luck in the Tourney. 👍

Yeah, they are interestingly appealing.

I'm made sure I sharpened the headlight a bit more.

Yeah I wasn't too sure about the flare but I thought the shot needed something to finish it off.
 
awesome XB ! love the angle too. the lens flare seems to be working out great for this shot. great choice of rims too. the headlights are so real looking. almost like as if it was from a real life photo. well done man.
 
HEy thanks J.👍

Well as of today the 22nd this is going to be my last update for atleast 2 months, I'm going to be leaving my home and going to stay with my brother in Georgia, and get a job with him while I'm there. Unfortunately he doesn't have internet access so I won't be able to visit the planet often if at all for the entire summer, so I'll leave you with this and promise to do more when I get back. Without further ado, I give you my Range Stormer.

 
Nicely done Loon. 👍

This is one of the best galleries I have ever visited, I don't see hideous wings, terrible rim choice, or worse, unlike some other galleries.

I really like how you pick the car's no one uses and make them look great for photoshoots. It takes true talent to do such a thing.

Well since you might be out for a while, I will say that enjoy your time at Georgia, and watch out for all those bloody gangs. What are you going to do without GTP? :scared: Well you get the picture, enjoy your stay at Georgia...

~PEACE~. :cheers:

EDIT: Good luck with that job.
 
awesome range stormer! never seen front grilles looking that good. love the colors on the photo too. they all blend so well together. enjoy your stay at georgia man. hope you have fun.
 
Thanks for the comments guys.👍

I'm going to crazy without GTP, I guess I'll have to find another hobby....
 
Well I'm finally back here at the planet, it sure has been awhile. No update right now, I need to get back into the swing of things before I show some stuff again, I haven't even touched GT4 in two months either.
