Head2Head Competition Week 46 - Closed

[SlipZtrEm]

.

Last week's winner, Ultrashot, provides the theme:

I want people to either focus on getting top-notch, mind-blowing
colors at Motegi or either cleaning up and showing off some nice
clean lines and reflections at New York.

That's what he's looking for specifically, folks!

Motegi (any variation) or New York

There will be two polls at the beginning of every week.
Each poll will have a top ten for that "competitor".
These polls will last for five days.
A final poll containing the winners from both polls will last 2 days.
You must post your final entry in red letters, ex. “Final Entry”.
Previews may be used, but may be no bigger than 300*400 pixels.
You may have two HM's if a preview image is not used.
You may change your Final Entry once (make it clear you did).
Edit out your original entry, or make it clear it is no longer "Final".
Do not use an entry from a previous competition.
Only one entry may be submitted, and it must be uploaded using Imageshack.

mmm i love that shot of Ultrapink's NSX. i can never forget that one. it's a classic.

 

[D-Mind]

Strange yet good theme. I'm probably going with Motegi SS

 

[Moglet]

Oooh, time for a bit of New York methinks. 👍

 

[Bram Turismo]

Does everybody understand the theme clearly?

Basically, if you'll go with Motegi, the purpose is to focus on the colors while at NY, I want you to focus on the clean up 👍

Basically a reflection vs. color match I guess

atlop , very nice!
clean and simple. Isn't that a different angle of a pic I saw from you a while back? looks great.

Fox-Hound, the pic's very good, the way the car caught the reflections, but it's imo a bit bright (only the car), and because of that it's noticeable the edge around the rim, since the rest of the 'black' areas are not as dark as that part, and it stands out.

I'm not really a big fan of doing this sort of blurred shot at New York because I seem to have done it a lot recently, but it's all I've had time to do really. The cleaning up took a while on this one too!

 

[jgda9rs]

that looks fabulous mog! great shot!

 

[NTX]

good job Mog!!!
Thats one of the most cleaned shots that I ever seen 👍

 

[Tangled Web]

Wow Mog that looks sweet, similar to my shot that I am working on. Yours will be better I think.

I hope I still have enough time to enter, it is the 3rd here. What timezone is the deadline in?
Mine will be in later today, maybe 12 hours or so. Gotta go to bed.

Don't know if this is how to post a link to the post, if not someone please explain. Thanks.

Nice shot Moglet, I only got 2 things to say about it though:

The angle; It does not feel aggresive enough, it feels like an ordinary camera angle And to the right of the hood, left if you are in the game, you forgot to clean up a line.

Don't take this too serious though, I love the shot, very clean.


Now, say again you can never reach my level of cleanup? You're far surpassed it buddy! 👍

Awesome entry jgda9rs and Moglet

I have to disagree with you on this one Ultra, while the camera angle may not be very "agressive", the blur and sense of speed it gives you is more than enough to make up for it.

Thanks for the feedback Ultra, the camera angle was actually chosen for that purpose. I wasn't aiming to make it look aggressive or anything, I wanted a long sweeping style camera angle to give the car a sense of 'cruising'.

As for the hood, I did try cleaning that area up but it looked a bit out of place and unnatural so I left it as it was. 👍

 

[Krame]

Damn nice entry moglet. Excellent cleanup on the car.
