That's an awesome poll guys! Glad I didn't entered PMC again. I somehow unlearned to shoot good pics like that without editing
small review
match1 - ijkhk4 vs. Soloracer3
Really audacious to use one of the worst standard cars in GT5 ijkhk4!!!! It's unbelievable hard to let this car look good, especially without editing! But yours is astonishingly good looking. Anyways, my vote went to Soloracer's one though. And that was mainly because I think it fits the theme a bit more. It's, for me, a more tipical 4x4 car than the RUF and it looks more powerful than the RUF pic. Also the brighter colours did it for me here...
But it seems to be a close match till the end. Curious to see who will make it to the next round. Both of you deserve it:tup:
match2 - Murcie-LP640 vs. Boabdulrahman
As Ph1lmar said it, the black Evora is just plain awesomness!
that was a fast match to decide for me. Simply because I felt the theme fited the Evora pic more. The black seems to be more in the foreground than it's in the other one. Also those little details with the trees on the side made this shot simply awesome. Nice colour too...
The Ferrari on the other hand, it could've been a blue or dark red one too. It's not that clear if its black or not and I think the blue background distracts a bit from the theme. Its a bit too bright, whilst the car is too dark.
Sorry Boabdulrahman, but I think this round will go to Murcie!
match3 - Jason_B vs. Ph1lmar
What a close match!
Wasn't expecting that. I thought Jason would lead a bit in this match. Of course, its the almighty F40 again, but it captured the theme pretty awesome! Heart, Soul and passion!? I think I feel it all in Jason's shot! The camera is right where the heart and soul of the F40 is.
Great picture!
And the Alfa, well I somehow get distracted by the background. And thats not good, because it looks a bit odd in this one. Maybe its to colourful or to bright, I'm not sure, but something doesn't fit to the theme. Never the less, it's a great shot and the car represents "passion" in every possible way. Just the pic, something is missing in it....maybe a bit more zoomed in to the car!? I'm not sure, sorry....
match4 - Mudklipz vs. tonilleshusband
Tough match!!!! Standard cars in the dirt, without any editing (for removing jaggies etc..). Thats really not easy.
And I think TH chose the right way....goes through the dark and hide those issues!
And it worked out pretty perfect. I like the warm mood and the lights of the Delta in it. Got my vote, even though I struggled a bit.
Simply because Mudklipz chose the harder way and did it pretty good job.
It has some jaggies and ugly textures, but thats not his fault. A nice shot, for sure. Maybe a bit to boring, standard angle and a pretty gray background.
Was hard to choose. But TH got my vote by maybe 5%
match5 - ziggedzag vs. GOTMAXPOWER
Another easy one for me. The lightning and atmosphere in GMP's shot is brilliant! I got some similar shots in that particular corner, but those are with editing, he achieved it without any of it. really nice work!👍
In Ziggedzag's pic I miss the atmosphere a bit. It's dark too, but somehow too dark (if that makes any sense). I think bokeh only works well if the car is brighter. In this one there isn't enough that pops out. The street and background are a bit to boring to compensate the dark car. Maybe if its a bit more zoomed out, it would've worked better. Or some reflections...or lasers....or unicorns...something at least!
Sorry ziggedzag, this round seems to be GOTMAXPOWERS one!
match6 - sar593 vs. Apperosio
Not an easy theme. Sar593 though did it perfect! The F1's were the right choice for it.👍
Also the atmosphere and focus worked well in it. I somehow feel the heat and intensity of a F1 start.
All this is missing in Apperosio's shot. It feels a bit to static and uneventful. Also that there's only the same car in it destroyed it a bit for me
But the sky, street and building looks great in it! Looks beautiful when viewed full-size. But as I said, it's the atmosphere that gave sar593 my vote.
match7 - 725 vs. Lellep
Both with the same car (was it in the restriction?) but totally different shots.
I did go with 725's one. I went back and forth and barely could've decided which one to pick. I like both shots! Lelleps looks more realistic and simple, whilst 725 did go the other way and produced a nice artistic shot. I barely can say anything bad about both, maybe the one is to dark and the other a bit to simple. But thats it!
match6 - ashes619 vs. Gtuned
The match I looked the most for. And both didn't dissapoint!
Both shots are nice and colorful.
The bokeh (if I can say it like this...) works good in Ashes shot.And surprisingly I like the close up here alot. Mostly I don't like it if the car gets cut to pieces like this. But I think the angle did it justice! I'm not sure about the green on the TT though. Not a tipical colour for an Audi.
Should have gone for something that represents Audi a bit more.
Well, I think that was the reason I voted for Gtuned. Non then less, his shot deserves it on its own. Because the shot got a prefect composion of lightning, colours and speed. And the orange (even though it's an unusual colour too
) does it for me. Works great all together!👍
Ok, this was more like a large review than a short one!
Please don't take my critics to personal guys. It's jsut my point of view!
All the shots are great and deserve to be in round 1. Be proud to actually reach it so far.....some big names got kicked out......so
👍
also, if there are any spelling mistakes, please be polite! My working PC/browser don't have spell-check on it!
edit: there is more miss spelling than expected
