Great result @The R!CE Guy, I wouldn't have guessed you had started with a dry track image! :bowdown:
Thanks Nato! I find it easier to work with a dry image and add the effects in after. When I edit rain shots straight from Driveclub, I find that the rain drops on the car become too prominent and create more artifacting which is a hassle to clean up. This way I have more control over the image.

You got through that tour sharpish!

EDIT: regular view pictures from the Nissan at night run over on the interior shots thread.

Just completed the AMG tour (with all stars) and saved a bunch of replays in the process. Will probably be a couple of days before I can go through them and take some shots as I'm really busy the next few days and I'm going to bed now - it's just after midnight and I got to go to work in the morning.
 

Holy FXX K!

This is the result of the collaboration I did with photographer Mikhail Sharov.
More info in the image description.


Original

Very, very nice edit! Though the composition is lacking, which sets the photo back a few paces. The only other thing that ruins it a bit is the fact when put side by side with the original, you can see that the entire photo is just showing off what you can do in Photoshop, when you should really be showing off your in-game skill.

Apologies if that seems a little harsh, but it's my honest opinion.

Thanks. I do admit the composition isn't anything special but the reason the car is centered towards the middle was because we wanted it to be the main subject of the image.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize art had any restrictions on what you can and can't do with it, and that having ''Photoshop skills'' is a bad thing. By the way this was a collaboration test between two artists to see what we could create. This is just one of the results to come.

Anyway, no worries dude. You are always free to voice your opinion as I am mine.

That does come across as unnecessarily harsh, I must say. Personally, having experience of peer reviewers, I found that constructive criticism always works far better as a way to get your point across. Clearly you feel a need to comment, which is fairly spectacular in itself, because so few feel moved to comment - however, adding suggestions or more comments to back up the salient points you are making would make it a critique and more worthwhile.

Like I say, that's my experience in these things and all parties tended to appreciate the result far more that way.

Ok, first off, I don't blame you for being angry with me, as reading back on my comment, it seems more a personal attack, which (in all honesty) it wasn't. It was a poorly structured mess, that as MeanElf has said, lacked any meaningful explanation of what I was trying to say. - While I stand by a large proportion of what I have said, I will at least explain my point this time.

Firstly with the composition, I understand what you are trying to do there, but due to the more centred approach, with the car being so far away I feel my eyes straying and focusing more on the scenery than the car it'self, which isn't a bad thing, as the scenery is nice. But for what you were trying to achieve, the car is a bit too far away. Others may disagree with that point, as it all depends how different people see it.

Ok, now onto my other comment. I wasn't trying to imply that art has restrictions, or that Photoshop skills are a bad thing. I admire the skills people like you have on Photoshop. My comment was more to do with that cut off point when a Driveclup photo is no longer a Driveclub photo, and more of a "Photoshop photo" in a sense. I'd never seen any of your stock Driveclub photos before, and had always thought that the editing was only a few bits here and a few bits there. Seeing them side by side, I began seeing two completely different photos, and for me it was no longer a Driveclub photo, as such. As an edit, ignoring the composition, I really do love it. But as a photo from Driveclub.. well, I hope you can see what I'm trying to say. (I'm really struggling to put it into exact words.)

I know you'll still be angry even with what I have said above, and I fully accept that. As you said, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and everyone is entitled to their say on said opinions. I'm not saying this as a personal attack, and I hope you don't take it that way. I will continue to admire your artworks on here and Flickr.

Like you said, you haven't seen any of my other originals but for the most part they have only been just bits here and there. That was just an example of a more heavily edited one, whereas more than half of my DC shots have just been enhancements of what's already there. Not all my images have the same level of editing put into them, you see.

You may have misinterpreted my last statement, I was never angry. My sarcastic commentary was just some light banter :). But I understand not everything gets communicated the way you want, to another person over the internet.

Anyway, I thank you for your support and respect you for being vocal about your opinion.
