CLOSED POLL: 2.0 Advanced Competition 129 (TIED)

[SlipZtrEm]

Further explanation of the theme, provided by leeislee:

"One of the favourite cars in my garage is my Aston Martin V12 Vantage in appletree green. It's such and amazing colour and the Aston looks incredible in it. So what i want from you all for this 2.0 is to use any car, any location and any style of shot as long as the car is painted in Appletree Green.

As normal (for anyone who knows me on GTplanet) I love seeing gorgeous pictures so I'm naturally drawn to amazing, artistic shots and as i usually say on my competition themes, no ugly camber or stupid flying through the air shots please...think classy and awesome, Static or Action shots and multiple cars allowed as long as they are all appletree green!

Oh, just so you don't have to go hunting for it, appletree green is an Aston Martin colour.

I have some cars on share if anyone needs one.

Have Fun! 👍"

Of course...I love the colour and the exposure of the shot but i found the cropped helmet and cylinder head on the left made the shot feel a little awkward. I think you should re-shoot it and you'll have a great shot for your gallery mate. 👍

Of course...I love Beetles, so i was glad to see one in the comp. I just found the location a bit bland and although the blown out highlghts on the car are hard to control with a bright colour like Green, i just found them distracting.

would this have been a better choice?

similar story really, a bit of a bland choice of location and composition...you also cut off the top of the building and the subject of a photo needs some space to sit, you have the car touching the edges of the frame!

But that's just my opinion mate, it's a hard choice to select just 15 shots.

👍

 

[nascarfn]

Thank you I know what i'm going for know, and i cut the house off cause it was just too pix-ally i haven't mastered Photoshop yet to fix that... and yes i know there is a tutorial just getting 100% comfortable first

Again, glad to see a Beetle in the comp. I didn't like the bokeh effect and i'm not a fan of the camber. I also found the reflections on the front didn't match the rest of the picture. 👍

Feedback?

Not much wrong with it really, just a bland location and cluttered scene really mate 👍

Sorry guys

The angle of the car is a great, nice detail on the headlights etc, i just found the leaves in the forground abit strong and distracting. A bit noisey too but take away those two things it would have made it! 👍

Ok, thanks for the feedback. 👍

 

[BluckBoster]

cheers for the feedback,
I like the camber on lowered bugs in real life so its hard for me not to make one look like it in the game its all a matter of taste I spose..

May I please have some feedback, Lee?

Sure...I love the sky in this and I love the vette, but I found the wide angle and relative closeness of the camera made the back of the car a bit stretched. Would have lessened that effect had you stepped back and slightly zoomed in. 👍

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Oh my, what a poll!

 

[cphbullet]

Could i get some feedback to please lee?

So Free​

Sure can...First the McLaren looks great in green so that was a good choice. The picture was just let down by the location really mate. Sorry! 👍

No worries i had kinda suspected as much. I was completely stumped on how to make it more dynamic, any ideas? (That questions open to everyone else as well as lee)

I appreciate the response, Lee. I'll remember this tip for similar future photos.

 

[ux2]

At this point it could be a tiebreaker?

Diverse, interesting poll lee. 👍

My favorite pre-poll was the Miura, ++ G73!

Too late for some thoughts on the cobra, I'd like a fresh perspective.

EDIT: Oh, I guess now it will be a tiebreaker!

and... appreciated advice going forward, lee 👍 thanks. (I thought it was a bit close too)

 

[leeislee]

Same as a few of the others mate. Not enough room around the car which makes it look too cramped and i'm not a fan of borders really.

The car looks great and would have looked better with some scenery around it. 👍
