Great Theme, i personally love muscle cars!

Me too, I have always had a thing for muscle cars since I was young. I love their simple style.

Just for fun, thought I would post up a few random shots lying around on my drive.

Click for full sizes.​

Also I wanted to ask, does anyone get the problem when you resize your image to 400x300 lines get jaggie. It does it to me with certain images, like these three previews. Really annoying.

Anyway, I hope to see some great entries.

Off course that happens, it's because of the really thin lines, they get so small at the size, they appear like jags on the preview, it's normal 👍

 

[D-Mind]

Resize with Bicubic method, won't get jaggies.

i hope this entry works. all i did to it was increase brightness and add contrast. i'm not familiar with muscle cars, but this one has 320 or so bhp, is from america, and is old it's cool though.

Wow, so many awesome entries. I can see I will have a tough time picking the top ten.

My fav so far has to be jgda9rs. Awesome shot, love the look of that car and you have captured it superbly. Looks sweet in B&W too.

GR21's shot stands out a lot too. Can't believe how clean it looks with PMC rules.

They all look great, can't wait to see more. 👍

[jgda9rs]

that's quite a mysterious shot whitson.

 

[whitsonracing]

yours is looking superb also. I am loving the black and white on yours. I love how your reflection is crisp and clean. To me it feels like it is out of some old movie with a sweet car. Maybe a mafia movie? I don't know I just like how it looks. I may be weird, but pictures give me a feeling. Like a change in mood with the lighting and such. Those kind of pictures, catch my eye.

 

[jgda9rs]

thanks!! i know what you mean, i get the same way too. i dont think it's weird. pictures in general tend to cause emotions in people. just my 2 cents

I think I can let it slide for you Ray, the AC Cobra is pretty much the same as the Shelby Cobra I guess. Looks the same anyway, awesome shot too. I love the Cobra.

Loving your entry freddy, that car looks sweet. I got the same rims on my GTO, they look great on the old muscle cars. I might have to put them on my Couger now seeing how good it looks. 👍

Wheh, thanks for that. I was suprised by how crisp this picture came out according to these rules so i wouldn't be happy if it wouldn't be allowed.

 

[atlop]

That's one beautiful shot freddy.

ray - very nice, though you should have tryed up up the app to get the tail in focus as well. with the rear a little blurry like that, it seems a bit weird imho.

Maybe, but it seemed more realistic for me like this.
