I voted for that Viper shot it the competition. It looks real, great composition, nice camera angle... It's just awesome!

It's a nice shot, great mood and everything, but the car doesn't look very good. Try checking the tutorials section, there has to be something there. Could you send me the original?

you should just upgrade to photoshop. i used to run gimp before, and my images didn't look as good either. it's after i switched to ps, i started to get really good results.
now from a raw point of view, i think you composed this very well. the lighting is nice,
giving the photo a good depth, and the contrast is nicely balanced with the exposure,
with the highlights very much intact and not blown out, except for that area on the corner of the rear bumper, but then again there's not much that could be done there.

Thank you for the kindly spoken words, Adrian. You're right when you say that there's not much that could be done here. GIMP just doesn't deliver enough tools to "complete" a shot. I mean, if I had Photoshop, I would've edited that jaggy area on the corner or the rear bumper, but without PS, I can't do it (properly). I darkened the background, in order to make the car stand out more and I've added a glowing light, so that the car looks smoother. The car's rear lights were also jaggy, but I removed them by copy-pasting and smoothening it out. That's the only way I know how to remove little jaggies. Nonetheless, I have to say that I'm pretty satisfied with the result, just because there aren't many tools in GIMP you can use to make a shot better. 👍 But in the end, I ask myself if upgrading to PS would make sense, because I don't knpw if I'm good enough to handle a programm like this.

GIMP is more capable than you two think. Somebody that knows what they're doing that uses GIMP can be better than an inexperienced PS user. I'll give the shot a try and see what I can come up with.

I would use PS in a heartbeat...if I could afford it ATM.

Just a few recent comp entries before a real update (requests of course, no I haven't forgotten about them).
2.0 week 122
CCCL Week 99 (temporary)
Unedited Week 62
Custom Competition Week 12
And a few bonus PmC shots (except the red 'stang, the wheels are enlarged to a ridiculous level), might use them if the opportunity comes:
Wow, what I intended to be a small update turned out to be a huge one

You really need to get rid of the white border, it takes too much background out of the crop. Otherwise the tones are very nice 👍

Thanks guys 
So...I wanted to do a Christmas update, so I worked a little on a shot. It's crappy, and the text is terrible, but I hope you enjoy.
Oh and Merry Christmas.
