First post in this thread, and i've got to say i really like the idea of having some feedback.
for that last pic, it's good, i like the angle, the car, but it feels kinda plain, like is missing some stronger colours, it's a pic you just pass by unnoticed, maybe the shutter speed setter a bit lower would help a lot, specially on that angle. 7/10

Everything about this shot is a 10 for me... the editing,composition,toning,lighting..everything.. It's a great shot... the fog near the front bumper is a little odd to my eye but not enough to make a dent in my opinion.. 10/10

Hmm, I don't know. It seems a bit... bland? Anyway, other than that, I especially like the emphasis on the tyre smoke. 👍 7/10

The shot is good, I like how you have captured the action and the picture clarity, maybe you could have changed the angle.

liked the picture overall, if i were you i would make more blurry the background to get more focus on the car, (even more
) 8/10

I want to get more feedback on mine so I'll post again. 
9.5/10 Great! The picture looks so fresh and cool. Car and track matches perfectly. The only improvement I can think of is the car position. If it would be more on the lower-left corner I'd give you a 10!

9,5/10
This is the third or fourth (Edit:fourth or fifth) time I'm rewriting this post and each time my rating goes up a bit. The only flaw I can see would be the lack of details to look at, but that is only a matter of opinion. I don't really have the appropriate vocabulary to describe it. The colors fit together greatly and the car also fits in there well.
All is held simple and blends in nicely with the rest of the pic.
The only reason I don't give a 10/10 is, that I somehow refuse to give it to something that isn't absolutely devilishly/godlike.
One of the first times I'm using Photomode seriously:

6.5/10 the position of the camera together with the FOV is kinda weird, and another advice is, try to take pictures that have smoke from an angle where you can't notice the jaggies that produces on the car, but keep pics coming!

First one 8/10, like the composition but the shot would look nice with speed.
Second one 6/10, I think the smoke is in the way and everything's out of focus. I like the idea though!

Well then:
1st shot: I think it would've been better if the car was moving, and not in monochrome. 6/10
2nd shot: That one is really nice! I can't think of defects right now, maybe the brightness, 9/10
3rd shot: Again as no.1, needs more movement. 6.5/10
4th shot. WAAAYYY too dark, more brightness and a better angle would do better. 7/10

both of those cars are moving its just they were some of the first photos i've taken so the aspect of speed wasn't first thing that came to mind but thx for the feedback

Photo is without fault, no huge mistakes that could ruin a photo.
Composition though, could be improved. For a shot like this, you would want to place the object closer to the edge.
Right now, the space between he RX7 and the bottom left corner is a little distracting, IMO.
Furthermore, there's artifacts at the corner. It looks a little posterized, but this is most probably PD's fault in rendering the image. But if you do edit your images, do be careful of such artifact so as to not ruin an image.
The toning here is strong.
The colour of the RX7, coupled with the slightly warm tones of the setting gives off a nice, 'sunset/sunrise' mood.
What I would suggest is to accentuate the orange just a bit more, making the entire photo warmer, and then you're set.
However, the biggest problem that led the photo to have a 7 instead of a higher rating would be the overall 'wow' factor of it.
This photo can be produced by anyone and for it to be a great photo, not just a good one, it needs to stand out.
Take for example, if you moved the car more to the left, that would be better than just plain, old center, right?
Nonetheless, good job on the photo, you're improving! 👍
Just keep on shooting and experimenting and you'll make better photos for sure.

8.5/10 Nice car and track but it's a bit too dark imo. Still, it's nice! 👍

^Love what you did with it. I think its just a little bit too vibrant. Still a 8.5/10
The toning in the photo is a great selling point, excellent work there!
Love the warm tones, gives off the mood of an early morning drive (time attack?)
Composition is near faultless as well, but I would've preferred the car a little, just a little, more to the left.
That would give more space between the car and the road to the left of the frame, and an overall feeling of 'moving forwardness'.
But that's just IMO.
But the thing that really killed the picture is the lack of motion, especially when you have the driver shown so clearly in the picture.
The look on the driver's face and the way his face is tilted to the side tells the viewers that he is indeed, driving the car, and not just in stasis, as if he's contemplating the next corner.
Also, the position of the car really looks like it's taking a corner at low speeds, but motion is missing there.
What I would suggest is probably a low shutter speed at non-mode 3 pannings, say 1/250 at mode 1, but that's how I'm picturing it in my mind.
Overall great shot, great toning, good composition, but let down by the lack of motion.

Can I just ask, what is the difference between the panning modes? I usually use mode 2, but I could not for the life of me tell you why.

It changes how the camera follows the car when you take the photo.
Mode 1: it stays at the same spot and simply rotates
Mode 3: it stays at the same spot relative to the car - doesn't rotate at all
Mode 2 is a mix of mode 1 and 3.

Correction: Mode 3 rotates and you can say, the camera is attached to the car. Mode 2 doesn't rotate, but is still following the car. Mode 1 stays at one spot, not moving at all.
The shot looks awesome, but I don't like the purple tone. Looks good in the foreground, the background (especially the mountains) would maybe be better without the purple. Still great -> 9/10

I like the idea, love the backfire, but it's way too dark. The area is pretty much already monochrome. 7.5/10
