Winner: Week 60 - Theme chosen by 80Y 2C2

THEME: Their words: "Reflections. Basically cars and reflections, cars in reflections, reflections in cars - basically anything that it automotively* themed with reflections." * "automotively" is not a word, but I think everyone knows what it means.

Wow - almost a week with only one entry? Hmmmmm.

This shot may seem a little off with the lighting and everything, but I did it on the new laptop, so the screen is different.

Pretty sure it's an S15

This is a surprisingly tricky theme. I thought about using a "Bullitt" inspired one, however it really isn't very special. Though my actual entry isn't that special anyway - I'm running dry of photos for entering every week.

You editing is always interesting. Very unique.

Anyway...

A nice shot - I just wanted to remind you that the competition ends at 10pm GMT (which is 5pm EST) so you are a little bit late. However I waited because I saw you were viewing the thread.

 

[Spencer]

Yea I knew I took too long when I hit enter. Thanks for waiting!

Nice. The cloud at the rear looks like a massive face. Two tiny eyes and a huge monsters mouth.

 

[LongbowX]

Ehh...I will wait until I get home to do the poll. So...in a few hours, at least. People keep viewing this thread and confusing me.

Cheers mate 👍. Usually I just play with the curves, but this time I started playing with the levels through different channels. I've never done it before, so it took some time to guage what everything was doing. Really happy about it though because for a long time I wanted to know how F1GTR gets some of his effects, and now I know. It was looking quite F1GTResque before I started playing with the curves to accentuate the reflections.

Kinda hard to make a reflection stand out like that in B&W. Well done.
