You did well on the washed out look. The lens flare looks nice on the first one, but the light source (sun) is not anywhere near the frame, so I wouldn't think the flare would be there, or you could add a bright overlay on the right side to emphasize that the sun is there.
The tones on the second one are nice. Not much to criticize about that.

8/10



Study this and tell me what to improve.

I like it! My only comment is that I think the front end blends in a bit too much with the sky. Nonetheless, 9.5/10! :)

^Fantastic pic ziggy:tup::). I give it an 8.5/10. Would give more if it had a bit more light.

Very nice. Lighting is extremely good in this photo. White works really well with the car.
Aperture is just about right, focal point is an accurate hit, but the camera could be lifted a tiny bit to give a better composition.
Not under-exposed, nor over-exposed, and toning's really apt.
A tiny bit more of noise, would make it look a little bit better.

Great photo. 9.5/10 👍 👍

9.6/10

Did you steal this photo off of BMXmitch? :sly:
This photo is tremendous; decreased saturation, cloud reflection, speed and crispiness. A favorite in my book.



Complaints?
 
Not from me!
9/10. The background looks amazing!

Feedback? I'm a proper noob!

I would give that picture about a 5/10. To start with positives, you have captured the action well with the car braking for the first corner, and that their are no rough edges. However, the picture is a bit too blurry and I would of focused in on the car not the background.

Well I like the contrast, and toning. However you can clearly see the highlights on a car , but you made a picture quite dark. Therefore i would add kind of a sun-flare coming form the top left corner ( just slightly brighter than the rest of the picture) As i said I really like the composition and speed effect, so I'll give it 8.5-9/10 just because i'd like to see some warm highlights. ;D
Here is next :D Rape It! Comment on every smallest bit you like or you don't like )

Nice shot, cant really tell what the car is doing exactly. Sitting still or moving? Either way nice picture. 8/10



I think that I would give those an 8/10. The toning is nice and the desired effect is achieved very well, yet I find it a bit boring. If the car was bright red or red-orange I think it would suit the toning better, this colour might be better with some in-your-face editing. The sense of action is not bad, but I think the biggest weakness is the angle, it's just too ordinary.Overall, they're very good, but a bit forgettable IMHO.

How's this:
 
The angle/framing is very good, as well as the toning, but when viewed fullsize, there's a lot of artifacts, (Try duplicating the layer, adding noise, then reducing it to reduce artifacts, then using a soft eraser or transparency gradient fade/erase the parts that don't need the reducing) But my biggest gripe is the glow from the road line, it's distracting as all hell, but that may be my OCD :lol: . 7.5/10

Wait, what's an artifact?

It usualy manifests itself av color distortions - often purple or pinkish hues. You can see some artifacts on the sky in your photo.

Now then... Back to the task at hand.


I like the general concept and what's going on in the picture. However, there is room for improvement. First of all I think the car is a little too far to the left, it' almost touching the edge of the picture. Another thing is that it lacks a little edge, I would've loved to get those smoking wheels right up in my face, preferably with some fish eye-effect. Overall I would say it's not a bad photo but it is a little bland - and I know you can do sooo much better. ;)

I give it a 6/10 (yes, I'm a cruel bastard).

So... Who wants to go next?

Photo is neat. Not too much of problem. Colour of the car compliments the overall mood of the photo and the toning of it.
Not over of under exposed, you've hit the margin quite accurately.
Though, IMHO, I would prefer a tiny, tiny bit more of contrast. Framing, angle and composition is where it could be improved on.
The stock could be moved a little more to the right, amplifying the motion of the photo.
The, again IMHO, camera could also be slightly elevated and tilted to give more of the rear of the car for a slightly, albeit already good, picture a more realistic angle.
Focus of the photo could also be brought to the rear of the car instead of the side rear fender, as that's a pretty boring area to look at.
Take advantage of the magnificent arse of this car! :sly:

Overall, good photo, toning is apt, and the overall mood of the photo is felt, your editing is superb. 👍 But composition and framing could have a tiny bit of improvement to make the photo stand out from the rest-- not being too dull, y'know? This angle looks really ordinary and not really something that wows. 7.5/10



C&C welcome. :D
 
If you look on the left up side of the picture you can see the checkpoint of the straight before corkscrew. :eek:
 


C&C welcome. :D

Beautiful toning as always Jaden (Gonna have to swipe some techniques from ya :lol: )
The shot itself is great, a good sense of motion and drifting, plus the framing of the Toscana sun and curved roads give it a more "It's a Saturday night, I'm gonna go out and see how many tickets I can get in this thing" Open road hoonage feel.
Only problem, the vignetting has some major harsh lines on the bottom right corner as well as some line near the bottom that just cuts off suddenly.
8/10
