Ok, I promised (did I?) to give you guys some feedback. Here it is.
Oh and schlep16: You're way too late to enter!
As Fyshokid already said, they all seem a little blank and have that lack of editing. They simply couldn't compete to all the edited pics with awesome toning and colors.
I wasn't a big fan of your blurred out shots and I'm still not at all. You made pics with this style several times and they all have this washed out/unsharp look with extreme colors.
You proofed that you can make pretty damn awesome shots, but this style isn't in my likings. Sorry mate...
The contrast is in my opinion way too high. This makes the car pretty dark and distracts from it pretty much.
I always find me to look at the hills in the background instead of the car. And those hills look a bit weird.
If you would've made them smoother, so there isn't that sharp edge there and lower the contrast it may would be a better overall shot.
I thought about your Entry a lot. The car choice is Ok, as I haven't seen a Swift that much on GTP. The angle and sense of speed is great too.
There just that extremely high contrast that bothers me. It makes the picture a bit too over the Top and not very enjoyable to look at.
But overall, it just had to compete against too many awesome shots and unluckily, lost. :/
What can I say... I love your shot Fido!
The car choice is excellent and exactly what I was looking for, the overall quality is also great. I just had to cut down the poll to 15 images. And it really wasn't easy.
Only little detail that bothered me a bit was the background. I thought if it was a bit sharper or the other way around, it woulve looked better IMO.
Pretty much the same I said to Fido. Your shot was one of the last I cut!
I really love it and there's not much I can criticize.
Only thing that made the difference whilst choosing the poll Entries, was the sky.
It has a bit too many artifacts that distracted me a bit too much. But again, this is criticism on the highest grade. There isn't really much I can tell you. Composition is, as moglet said, perfect!
Next time you surely have more luck.
Great picture!!! I loved everything about it, just the car choice....that wasn't what I was looking for.
I saw this car way to often in photo competitions or various threads.
With a Citroen Xsara or something else, you may would've made it.
The editing just doesn't do it for me. It just has too many artifacts everywhere.
And the missing "sense of speed" ruined it totally!
Dont take this too personal though, I know it's just my opinion, but try to make a picture look as good as you can in GT5 and then edit it. Try out different settings in GT5, such as shutter time etc.
Also, try to find a real life picture you like, just to find some inspiration. Thats what I do sometimes to make a pic look like I saw it somewere else.
You had a good chance indeed. But in the end, it just looked a bit too boring compared to some of the other shots.
Theres not really more I can tell you. Editing is good and the car choice aswell.
There were just too many to choose from....
Your Entry is stunning! Thats my feedback for you!
Well, ok one thing that bothers me was your car choice. I thought it wouldn't fit in this poll very well. The GT-One is IMO a widely used car in GT5. So, I sadly had to cut yours out. Even though, I really liked all of your Entry. Just the wrong car...
Well, the car looks out of focus and the background doesn't offer any alternative to look at.
It just couldn't compare to some others who did an excellent job with cleaning up the standards or gettin the best out of them.
But I know, the Diablo looks horrible from every angle. It really isnt easy to get decent pics from it.
If I offended anyone, please don't take it too serious. This week was one of my hardest to judge I ever had!
I had to expulse some shots I normally would've entered in every other poll and I really struggled a long time to decide and send my Top15.
But to see how balanced the votes are right now, shows me I made a good balanced poll with lots of different styles and cars.
Well done everyone!👍 I really enjoyed to judge this week..even though it has cost me my free sunday!
