At the end of the week, there will be two polls; one for Red, one for Blue. Winner from each
faces off for the overall win! Why these colours? It's GT, of course!

LOCATIONS: any
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: cars must be red, or blue

A quick explanation for those who might not know:

H2H weeks, for PMC and 2.0, will involve two sides. The week of the polls, there will be a poll for each side to determine respective winners by Thursday. After that, a 2-day poll with both sides' winners will be created to determine the overall winner. You are encouraged to vote for both polls in the first stage, and then for one image in the final .

Oddly enough, both polls have 20 entries this week. Enjoy the space, guys; the next H2H will be limited to a dozen each side!

Is Sejtur's picture Cross-Processing?

 

[suzq044]

I think it's an "edited" cross-processing shot.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

It looks to me like he's played with the curves, but yeah, achieving a cross-processed look is done mostly through those in Photoshop. I assume he started with the filter on in GT5, but it's entirely possible he didn't (since it destroys a lot of the finer details).

If I was being really nit-picky, I would've preferred a slightly slower shutter speed to get some visual separation of the wheel spokes. That's just my personal taste though, and even as it currently is, it still got my vote 👍

Thats pretty much my only criticism as well, and like you said, he got my vote no problem. Many, many good entries though.

Wouldn't that be a HIGHER shutter speed?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Doh! Of course!

Can I blame it on posting at 4:30am?

Final poll is being prepared now, barring any influx of votes it will be up at exactly 5pm 👍

 

[suzq044]

lol, yes you can. I've been up until those hours myself recently
