That Maserati shot would have had my vote instantly 👍
It fits the theme more than perfectly IMO

I would have gone for the Maseratti without a doubt.

The car is using the orignal black from the Gran Turismo. Maybe the cool filter make it look like silver/gun metal color. Anyway, thanks for the comment. It must be not black enough. 👍

That's the math I had on it at least. But it is a GREAT shot. 👍

Probably make a killer 2.0 type of entry if you did some work to it as well.

The Maserati was indeed awesome.....but not black!
For me it looked silver. And I still think it is a silver car...
It simply would've been unfair to include it over some of the others.

And the 500? I never said I only want mean cars. I said "as long as it looks a bit mean, youre good". And I thought for a Fiat it looked pretty mean!
Also, I liked it way more than some of the dark pictures, simply because he focused more on the black car, then the mean look.

But again, IMO!

Your feedback please mitch

i'd assume that its not black enough to your liking right?

Thanks bmxmitch, totally understand why it is not in the poll and I will be more caution in the future. Thanks everyone for comments and loving my photo.

Ok, I finally have some time to give some feedback again.

There where two things that bothered me. The first, theres nearly no sense of speed. The car is drifting but it doesn't gives the feeling of speed or losing control. Next time, try it with a shutter speed of 60 or 125 and mode2 or 3.
Also, it feels a bit unsharp. Maybe your focus wasn't on the car. idk

Also, the right part of the car is a bit cut-out, what makes the picture look like it was shot in a rush.
You have plenty of time to choose a nice angle or the right position. Play with it and try some more different stuff with Photomode.

I love the reflections on the front of the car. Makes it look realistic to me. But you could've brighten it a bit. It may wouldve shown even more of those reflections.
Also, the position is a bit too asymmetric for me. If you shoot a car like this, everything has to be symmetrical. IMO of course.

But overall, I thought it looks too dark.

Your shot does nothing wrong, but also nothing really right.
Theres nothing that keeps the viewer longer than a few seconds. No real highlight!

Maybe try to zoom in the backlights more to make them as primary for your pic or lighten it up a bit. Something needs to be more interesting, I just cant really put my finger on it....

is that last car a McLaren F1 '94

Yup!

Both entries are amazing IMO, Better luck next time.

Feedback please ?​

IMO this was the best shot, even in the poll. I liked the fact that it was dark because the green was really bright, giving it good contrast and balancing it out. The only flaw was the car was not centered in the lines.

 

[Aragam]

First win! 👍
Thanks to all that voted for me
