I really like that one nismo33.

Thank you 👍 Though it may have made the poll. Hey ho always next week

I can see where the judge was coming from not picking yours since it's a bit underexposed on screens that aren't very bright. And that it may be a bit centered (I don't care about the "rule of thirds" when it's in a shot with a filter), but I do not know the judge's opinion on that.

I do say (which can be said oh so many times) that I think it's better than some in the poll. I'm a bit sad to see that there aren't very many F1/FGTs in the poll, but I guess there weren't too many sent it compared to the karts. And it's a bit funny seeing how the two F1s have more votes combined than all the kart ones. That will probably change soon though.

This was my last minute entry which I took months ago on La Sarthe

My 1st secret try, in retrospect probably too static and too centred. Comments welcome, please.

​

Guess it's old school, but imho karts & cars require thier own tracks. Caused me to not vote my initial favorite poll image, sorry, just saying.
No prejudice intended or attempt to sway this poll, if judges or any member feels otherwise, comments removed immediately.

Good luck to all finalists.

What about mine? Too simple?

nismo33 your picture is not bad at all, but if there is a bit more sunlight at the top. The shadow and the sunlight contrast will look more amazing. Keep it up there is always another week

I acutally like this shot a lot because of composition and the sense of speed, but too bad it is a bit over expose and make the red color a bit weird.

I agree the shot is a bit too static and it is a bit too "tight". It will be better if this shot is taken a bit further away.

What about mine? Too simple?

It is a bit empty in the left hand side of the shot and if the FGT is shot a bit upper right it will be better. Actually, you are the only one that is sending in FGT and I like that. Keep it up 👍

 

[nismo33]

tried to make the car & shadow the main focus cheers for the feedback though

Argh! Should have made a one-make race and took a different picture. And wow! I never knew I stood out and entered in an FGT. Thanks!

To Nato_777,
This may be a noob question, but is it possible to change your entry in Secret Santa?

To Nato_777,

No. You can find it in the first post of the thread where you send in your entries.

 

[jus1029]

Thanks for the clarification.

 

[Nato_777]

To Nato_777,

As FJ said no you can't - the main reason for this being that entries are PMed to the judge and it could make it very difficult for the judges to manage their PM limit with people changing their entries during the week. However, I do allow the judges to let people change/fix their entries if they fail to meet the theme requirements in some way or accidently include a signature in a 2.0 Edit week.

I think you should use a red helmet and try to shift the picture a bit upper left so that it will exclude the front tire and include the intake air duct. Anyway, I like this angle and the way you zoom in.

The picture is a bit too dark and there are too many same F1 in the picture make it not too realistic. It is a good try to make a racing feel 👍
