Ultimate stance here I come!...maybe.

EDIT: How long has it been since I did one of these? I got to hang out with you guys more often. It was a 2.0 comp thread that I first posted on way back in January. I seem to remember it was about Hondas and everybod got a little worked up :P. Annnnyways, this is the result of me playing round a bit. Nothing to spesh - just testing out whats good in PS and whats better in GIMP - I use the two side my side. If you want to take a look at whats been keeping me occupied, check out my other gallery in my sig [/shameless advertising].

Final Entry




The ultimate profile :D. The wheel sticking out at the back is thanks to some rediculous camber. Its meant to be like that 👍.​

It's okay, but the shadow looks weird and you should've cleaned the car better.

(Would you mind PM'ing me the orig, please?)
 
Yes, well I did say that it was "nothing spesh". I haven't done one of these for....hmmm....6, 7, 8 months(?) so I'm bound to be rusty of course - this is only my second try at cleaning anyways - I'm sure if I rummage through your gallery to find your second try at cleaning it would turn out much the same way ;). And if you think its lacking reflections, I didn't have time and I wanted a more grungy look.

👍

I remember that. :) I was expecting a lot of abstract images from you, but the truth is that art is a subjective bitch, and abstract art is the most subjective of all. And that doesn't win competitions.
 
Perfect theme, Luke. 👍

Sorry mazdaman, but that's not really what I was looking for. Try taking one from the exact side. You need to make a ~400px preview linking to the fullsize too.

Araba- Great shot! A little oversharpened, but nice anyway.

Ok ill redo it
 
There are some really good entries here. I think I might have some profile shots hanging around, gonna try to enter soon.
 
Great entry 02zetech. Very unique and artistic. The car could use some cleaning and jaggie-fixing, but still a nice shot.
 
that EF civic or whatever that thing is, i like the sweet styling. it's like a combo of rainbow gradients and infrared. it's very unique!! i'll try and post an entry later on tonight, if not maybe tomorrow.
