NTX1982. 
I'm gald you liked them so much. "All hail king Alex" sound so sweet... I'll change my text under the avatar, by this
Arathorn. You're the artist, yep. But finally I could take my own shots! Thanks Ara.
TVR&Ferrari_Fan. Thanks TVR
LGforce. Probably, more collabotations will be done in this forum... Thanks LG!
Moglet. When I saw the Ruf I had no doubt. The ambient was the key in this one, so I editted the background and lighting with some care. I think the nearly monochrome color of the scene helped the overall look as well.
Omologato. Thanks GTO fan
Funkshen. Good to see you here, thanks.
GT4_Rule. Thank you too!
Drift2XS. Thanks +1
ALPHA. And he has got one! Btw thanks for commenting. Ahm, I've just noticed who are you, the Alpha Smörgåsbords gallery sound soooo cool! And the front carbon splitter of your Speed 8, is even more cool.

About Elise Type 72
NTX1982. Thank you one more time NTX, I'm proud of this king of comments.
Sakiale. Haha, thanks.
GT4_Rule. I've to say this update has no added any blurring filter. I think first Elise came out pretty good btw, with the possibilities of GT4
. thanks.
jgda9rs. I'm what?! Haha, thanks man.
Ultrashot. Are you kidding one more time, no? Mmm, I'll try that method when I reply in your gallery
Thanks Bram!
Drift2XS. As I said in your gallery, I don't mind you use my idea. Thanks for explain the linking method to UltraPink.
Arathorn. Thanks. I can say that these shots are hard editted. I hate to clean them, but they need some time to delete so bad textures. I'm very confident about them, to be honest.
TVR&Ferrari_Fan. Thank you too, TVR.
Cod_Father. The 3rd one is in your style I think
. I tried some burning method to create a little deformed ambient. Thanks for posting.
Cascada. I'm glad Cas
franz. Thanks, I appreciate your words. As I read some time ago, from "a man who perfected the photomode".
440 CHARGER. Thanks. I thought they will be much more liked by the popular opinion btw
dmanbluesfreak. A 60 seconds sketch haha. Thanks one more time.
LGforce. Thank you too!
keef. Hi keef. No, I'm not a real photographer, but I'm interested in it and I've observed a lot the GTP galleries. My knowledge in 2D was learnt by mysefl, so you can see a very personel method here. The logo of this last one was cutted from
this. I've got a hi-res pic but I don't know why I used this stupid 600px image. I'm glad you like the work shown, I hope your usual visit.
About second Type 72
Ultrashot. Literally pasted "Bram ,remember I'm pretty limited by the language. Are you sure I'm undestanding all in the correct way?
PS.
Cod_Father. Thanks Cod. Beautiful Elise's ass lol
Cascada. You've a droolling problem, like Franz says
Arathorn. I expected this one, exactly this one, won't be a liked shot. I don't undestand you (In general)
. I editted it vary carefully, changing the tone in a suaaaave way to no distort anything. In fact, I wanted an impressive shot, but with a reallistic look. I took a dozen of shots in that scenery, but only one was selected. Thanks for visitting Ara!
kraft_d. Thanks man
NTX1982. Thaaanks NTX. You're always welcomed, even woth this banned word wich I love so...
jgda9rs. Thanks mate. If the previous update needed a hard editting, this one needed even a lot more. You can be sure I spent a few time and effort to do what you have seen. Btw, seems less spectacular than others, I don't know why everyone thinks that haha.
dmanbluesfreak. Thanks. If I were added a lens flare with dodge tool, in the upper left area... that could be made the apocalipsis
. I'm sure. Thanks Dman.
franz. You're becoming an usual viewer... be careful, the drooling problem could grow
Ultrashot. Now you're serious lol. Yep, I usually make a separate editting of teh car and background, when the lighting is very conflictive. Btw, the shot you're refering to, hadn't any kind of this editting method, blurring or sharpness filter... nothing. The image itselft came out pretty well.
The reflections of the front area, was made with a click of brush in a linear dodge tool. No glow filter as well. As you can see, some dodge/burn method was used to adjust the reflections and lighitng effect
. I hope you can understand me man.
LGforce. Thanks LG. The 2nd seems successful, yep.
Drift2XS. Thanks. I sometimes say about this sceneries, wich needs "something" different. I wanted a powerful image with a nice composition, using so many lines and shapes in the back.
dark_ruffo. Thanks Drk, at least my gallery made you find the pass
djskyline701. Haha, as I told to Dark, Yamauchi San went to my house to put the pressure on some PS2 screws
________________________________
To finish this hour of replying, I'd like to say that this Elises updates was very challenging. The texturing of this kind of black cars are ridiculous. The cameras in Monaco aren't very spectacular as well, so I worked on the lighting, specially in the shiny surfaces. I'm very confident about this results, because imo the compositons and effects are correct, and I could made a great study of the lights. At least for me, this was one of the better technical updates. I supose that another ones was more "dynamic", with more speed sense or whatever, but this time, the control of the editting was very very impostant.
For example, I expected that the 3rd one in the last Lotus batch, will be the most loved because the impressive lighting in the Monaco's tunnel. In fact, the original shot came out absolutely dark with the EV level chosen in GT4. The image with autolevels is
this.. Please check the difference... one of the best and challenging chops I've ever made, and the final image looks pretty natural for me, no an artificial creation. Playing with the lighting in this way is one of the most difficult things to do here.
Here are some original images to make the compairson:
3rd of 1st Lotus batch. Modded into a soft and shiny surfaces, like a real painting. No bad texturing wanted, so a little cleaning was needed.
Last of 2nd Lotus batch. Another example. The final image came out quite natural and shiny, with a very careful adjustment of all levels to avoid any kind ot artificial look.
And that's all. A new update is ready, and it will be one of the most (I think the most, with a lot of difference) spectacular and mystical shots shown in my gallery. I'm sure the popular criticisms are going to be pretty interesting to read. Stay alert...
PS. Sorry by my english... in so long post, I'd written thousands of mistakes. Emm, really, this PS is a mistake itself
