CLOSED POLL: 2.0 Advanced Competition 124 (W: GPR)

[SlipZtrEm]

Further explanation of the theme, provided by Moglet:

"I want to see some classy shots. Nothing OTT, no wide angles or insane bright cars drifting about, I'm talking a subtle silver Mercedes parked up somewhere, a brand new Lexus cruising calmly along the road. It's probably best to avoid modified cars or hot hatchbacks for this one! For inspiration, I'd suggest a look at the following images:

Didn't make it into the poll this week but I'm not suprised - mine was purely out-classed by those that did. Awesome poll. 👍

Eh. I knew mine lacked simplicity.



Anyways, voted for Tangle Web's entry!

I feel so touched.... very, very touched. But, sad at the same time. or

 

[nascarfn]

make it 7 why did that not make it moglet???

 

[Moglet]

It is a brilliant photo but it didn't scream 'classy' to me. The low down, tilted photo and fairly wide angle suits the car but is pretty aggressive looking IMO. If this were any other theme it would have made it but for this one it just didn't feel right.

How bad does it suck when your the only one without a vote in a poll especially when you have a streak of at least 1 vote per week on the go haha

You're not a loner boner in the poll. Take a second look.

 

[yabiggoose]

Ah, I thought any entry was in. Not surprised mine didn't get the cut then..

 

[leeislee]

Only one winner here!

 

[GPR]

Oh my, I wasn't expecting to do as well as I have. Thought it might be closer than that, but no complaints here.

Thanks to all for the many votes for my Black Italian Beauty.

 

[zambuca]

Pretty damn good poll It's been a long time since I've seen such a tasty selection 👍

 

[Watchman]

Congratulations, George! Certainly a well-deserved win!

 

[GPR]

Congratulations, George! Certainly a well-deserved win!

Cheers Nenad.

And once again a big thank you to all that voted for my entry. 👍

 

[leeislee]

Thanks for my votes lads!

Well done GPR...well deserved.

 

[Moglet]

Feedback please.

The car is far too close to the edge of the frame in this photo. The paint looks very flat too.

Feedback please

This was a nice way of looking at the theme and it certainly fits the bill. However I felt the image needed a little more contrast and the horizon needed straightening out. It's also worth noting the angle of the sun in your photo, it's leaving the back of the car in the shadows meaning that the details we see first (rear lights, exhausts etc.) are all fairly dark and don't stand out much.

Eh. I knew mine lacked simplicity.



Anyways, voted for Tangle Web's entry!

Yours was very close to making it, but the front appears to be warped slightly due to the angle used (although it could just be the car) and the dark area in the bottom left blended into the car forming a dark area in the image that clashed with the very bright sky.

Me too, so it would be 4 of us.

There was simply too much going on here for me. The foreground is in focus revealing strange colours and shapes on the walls, and the contrast between the dark paint on the car and the bright reflections is very harsh on the eyes.

Shoot! I forgot to upload some of my photos and submit one for this competition :\ But now my disk laser died, so sad time for GT5 photos
But to you all: Great photos!

 

[Fat Buff Guy]

Dang, can't believe I did so good, thanks for all the votes haha. It wasn't near as good as the winning shot!

GPR, theme/image harmony. A clear example of how it's done! kudos 👍

Moglet, too late for a critique? Still a very green editor.



thanks

EDIT : over used locale, thanks lee (honestly unaware) hmm... How about the cross process attempt?

RE-EDIT: Moglet...good advice, thank you. 👍

 

[leeislee]

youtimestwo...In my opinion that location and angle is done to death. Even i done that shot ages ago, many before me did and many after you will!

I think i've seen about 25 versions of that shot. 👍

I don't mind the location, the angle, or the lighting. But the front edge of the car is out of focus (GT5 can do this on it's own sometimes, something to be aware of) and even if you meant for that to happen it looks a bit out of place when the car has such clean, sharp lines. I was also unsure about the car. A bright purple Camaro with racing stripes and decals didn't fit the theme as well as the photos that were chosen.
