Final Entry



This is my entry, enjoy! :)
 
indeed a very strong picture, but too dark as MinoltaMan said, if it was brighter i´d love it,... ;)
 
Haha, the darkness was the entire point of the picture ;)
 
That is a very interesting blur Luis, definitly a different approach to what I'm used to 👍

Also, Rayquaza, I simply love the darkness going on there. That image screams pure evil! 👍
 
Using A combo of:
High Pass
Diffuse Glow
Curves
Layers

I produced this....



FINAL ENTRY

Took Me about 10-20 min to do.... :D
 
Eh its Nurburgring the jump is gonna come sooner or later, so I thought why not i'll give it a shot. :D
 
Thanks Mykolas. 👍
I just use a plain old mouse, I do have a tablet, but it isn't a very good one.

You really do have to pick the worst looking part of the car, have you? :lol:

A good ol' TW styled shot, and I love how you blurred the road. I know it's no simple noise you used, I really don't know how you do it, but it looks great! 👍
 
Nice composition TW, but I really don't like what you did with the colours. The colour doesn't suit the car IMO and you can see where you selected around it to change the colour. What colour was it originally?

The back isn't that bad is it? Plus you get to see the four exhausts. :D
I could tell you my secrets, for a price. Muhahaha!

Thanks, guess the colour wouldn't be to everyone's liking, it actually could be better but I found it hard finding a good colour that blended well. I think I see the colour around the car you are talking about, that must of been a result of the sharpening because I didn't notice it before.
I just thought it looked a little boring the silver so wanted to give it a custom paint job. Here is it in the original colour, maybe I should just make that my entry. :dunce:
