Everyone else has pretty much nailed my feelings on it. I'd say its your best shot to date. You and me seem to be in the same boat when it comes to playing time. I wouldn't even call it playing time, I don't get to play the game anymore, I just have time to turn it on, and try and take a few pictures for the weeks competitions. So I feel you in that department.

You're pretty good at manipulating colour like the old times, but just getting better and better. I only get to play the game about 1-2 times a week, very sad and depressing.
 
Ooh, very nice! Looks like you're driving off into the sunset... Toscana at sunset is a lovely place to shoot as well. My only criticism is that I wish the road wasn't quite so overbright... although then it wouldn't have that surreal, dreamscape sort of feel. Great shot regardless :)
 
Very nice work, I'm glad I could inspire someone as talented as yourself! It's definitely a contender for the top spot in the contest IMO, it really captures the wonderful feeling of just driving off into the sunset with the radio off listening to the exhaust note. 👍
 
Thanks for the lovely comments and compassion guys. 👍
Here's some random leftovers from the sets that I found worth posting and a new one that is not eligible for the comps. :) I hope you like them.

Wow sej. I love the post processing on the 307! Just the right amount of blur to show off the car and great tones to boot! And that enzo is just brilliant. So vivid, and The angle of it really shows off that classic front end! The Jag is just... pretty :D
 
I agree the processing of the 307 is nice and suits it well. I really like the jag shot though, the colours and detail captured in the headlight is great. The wide angle makes it interesting too plus the burnout highlight area is a feature you do well in most of your work. 👍
 
These look very fresh - especially the second one. I like the tones in the first picture and the cleaness in the third one. Keep it up. ;)
 
Hmmm, I'm torn on all 3 of these Sej... I'm not a fan of the Pug itself, but that is a very cool, painting-like effect you've managed, and it feels ad-quality! The Enzo - I love the angle, but have never loved the car (more of a CGT fan), and that nose... that nose! :lol:

The Jag? Turns out I'm not torn; love it, especially the amount of detail in the shading on the cars' side. Some of you guys are turning out incredible shadows on cars, and I can't seem to do it without ruining the rest of the shot. Keep this up 👍
 
GPR, what do you exactly mean by burnout highlight area feature? I haven't put highlights in the picture?

SlipZ, you mean the sky that gets ruined? Or the whole other aspects of the photo?

Thanks to all of you! :)👍
 
In order of personal taste: 3rd one, Looks straight out of an advertisement! Love it! 2nd one, I like this even more than your original entry! 1st one is solid, nothing too amazing but the post processing is top notch! Overall, great set!
 
GPR, what do you exactly mean by burnout highlight area feature? I haven't put highlights in the picture?

All I mean't was the way the light in the highlights like the front of the nose of the car facing the sun and the actual sky itself being blown out as in a little over exposed. Not that you intentionally put it in there but more that fact that when you do use the over exposed look you make it work well.

Hope that makes sense. :confused:
 
They are all very beautiful on their own, but together they seem like they could be part of a set! The colour work on them is gorgeous.
 
Thanks guys! Okay, I understand it now, GPR. Much appreciated that you elaborated because my english isn't top notch!

I've asked Mert if I could borrow the X2010 for a shoot, and this is one of them that I would first use in the PMC but I wanted to know how it looked like if I did some stuff to it in PS. I hope you like it! And thank you Mert! :) This was taken at the first corner of the Nurburgring, GP circuit. I'm not sure about the font though...

RedBull X2010

Oh and if somebody knows the resemblance to a pic from my GT4 gallery, kudo's to you!
 
I wonder, how many times you crashed the X2010.


My thoughts on the shot:​


I love the composure.​
 
No probs on elborating on any comments Sej. As for the X2010 shot I really love the focus on the light. And also like the colours. Kind of dream like.
 
Thank you for the nice comments.

TVR: I crashed it in total like 3 times. But I'm not super bad at the game I guess, I was 50th in the GT academy of the Netherlands. I cut the shot several times, so that the composition was as good as possible.

SVX: Thanx! :D

GPR: Exactly the look I was going for. :dopey:
 
I think you just overclassed yourself here.
The X1 looks like it's just getting revealed with alot of blue led lights around it, or blacklights with smoke pulling away or something. Very dreamery!
And the blue feels warm instead of cold. Wow!👍
 
sems4arsenal: Thank you! :D

slayclops: Thanks alot, really appreciate it! I'll try to keep on doing my best. :)

speedthrill: "Overclassing", is that a word?? :P I know what you mean though. ;) Thanks very much! 👍

It reminded myself of a pic from my previous gallery, but I checked where it was and only the thumbnail is left. Alot of pictures have dissapeared. :( It's on page 44 if you were wondering...
