Not entirely sure, I believe that it was a different shot from the same set. I will look for an alternate if someone can find out if I have used it or not that would be grand. Thanks. I have some backups ready, but still hope that I can use that one. I just love the amount of smoke I got off the tyres.

Edit: Week 46 drift comp. Thank you for spotting! I will change it later.

Mad at you? Never, good friend. Hell, its not like there would ever be some 3-4 page argument over one little picture........

Edit: Long term members may have got this joke.

Final Entry


White btw!​

This entry is fantastic! The colours and levels are very natural, nothing too extreme, the composition explains itself, the rims fit the car perfect, the car is very clean, and I love the body roll you've managed to capture! I'd consider this a perfect entry, although it it were mine I'd try to dodge the outer lip of the rim to show the outer lip could be chrome. But this entry is just... damn... 👍

Your GT4 images are starting to look as good as your desktops

I got it

 

[MinoltaMan89]

Amazing entry Sweetshop! I think you meant to say "White ftw" instead of "btw" though.

 

[SVX]

I think he did that because you have to say what one you are for,like the Head to Head comp.

I did indeed. Just in case anyone didn't realise it's white y'know. Thankyou all guys, I'm glad you like it. I've spent more time on my latest entries cleaning up the car more and improving my technique for those ugly panel gaps. I guess it must of paid off!

 

[MinoltaMan89]

No chance against Sweet, but oh well:

I suggest you look at full size, it looks surprisingly crappy in the preview.

First real serious attempt. I think it looks a little sketchy in full-size, though..


Cheers,

[Watchman]

That one looks great, Jetboy! Where did you make that signature if I'm allowed to ask?

 

[Jetboy.]

Of all places, would you believe Photobucket has a mild photo-shop?? Thanks on the compliment. 👍
