Kenny's Muscle Car Competition Week 9

Hi everybody. This is the second to last week of the running of this competition.

This week's theme as picked by Week 6 winner treefingers will be Street Racing.

What good is a muscle car if you don't race it on the street? :D

If you are thinking this is similar to the Las Vegas theme - think again. You MUST show 2 and only 2 cars in the picture - and it MUST look realistic. As in - obvious giveaways such as ads/signs or things associated with standarized racing on a track will be frowned upon. You are Mr. hot shot rebel taking your dad's sleeper to the local stoplight and racing for the title. Let's hope you win. You can race against any non-race car you want.

To further clarify what is intended by the theme, here are some pictures courtesy of treefingers of what can be done with good composition.



Any city course except Cote d'Azure, Citta di Aria, and Costa di Almalfi will work. If you wish to do a course that is not listed in city courses, please ask. If you do the family cup you can adjust the difficulty to get a lot of different cars to race against. Race cars are not allowed at all.

Today is August 6th and this competition will end Saturday August 13th at 9PM. As always 5 pictures will be considered into competition. Photoshop is allowed but please if you edit things in and out, please say so. Also if you do any major PS work that isn't obvious, please state what you have done. Good luck! I am the judge again.
 
so let me get this straight your only running this compo for 10 weeks :nervous: :crazy: this is a really god competition you should keep it going :)


btw nice them for this one gonna enter it when i get the chance
 
Not enough time to get realistic shots but here are some 'shot from the hip' just for your viewing pleasure (or disgust :dopey: )


 
Not disgusting at all! Great shots. 👍 And realistic too. Except maybe the first one, at least it looks like thats going to end with a nasty dent and very angry daddy... :ouch: :ouch: :D
 
Good entries stumpydino and somebody. Somebody's 3rd and 4th ones look pretty good.

Teampots, I'm only doing it for 10 weeks for 2 reasons.

1 - Doing muscle cars for numerous weeks in a row will eventually get boring for me and the competitors.... and
2 - College is starting soon and I don't want to be shirking responsibility here. After a while I may decide to start another 10 week competition involving a different type of car. :)
 
Thanks Kenny. :) That was actually more difficult than I thought it would be, hard to get a decent pic of that red Mustang. Could have something to do with the combination of that color and darkness, I don't know. I wish I knew more about the theory side of these things, images, colors, photography etc, it would make things so much easier. Well, knowledge always does... :indiff:
 
you guys know that only one of the cars has to a muscle car right? the other one can be from anywhere. just wanted to remind you.

Photoshop changes:
~ Picture 1 and 5
- Brightened the peugeot 406 so it looks more white.
~ Picture 5​
- I've put an focused viper over the blurred one, so that the wheels stayed blurred and the 406 was in focus too.​
 
I like to see so many different kinds of cars going head to head, great job guys.

I didn't know the Parisians were interested in street racing :)

Like atlop said, the more you know™
 
The quality of pics is getting insanely stronger as the weeks go by...awesome work guys....I really have my work cut out for me...should see some pics by tomorrow night...Foo Fighters tonight!!
