You don't happen to know alexwrc, do you? :p

That looks fantastic! Looks like something alexwrc did, and take that as a huge compliment 👍
 
That one looks fantastic, indeed. I like the soft tones of the car and the angle in whole.
 
this is my first competition :|

Great to see you back TW! Nice entry too, although I'm not sure if the license plate is legal :p

Double H, amazing entry! It is very alexwrc-ish as Bram said. Speaking of him, where the hell did he go? He's been gone since August.

I'm glad I didn't posted my entry yet. I doubt it will beat this one after I'm 100% done with it, but at least it won't do so bad. :lol:

I know him, but no more than anyone else on GTP. I had a brief email exchange with him earlier this year, sadly I don't think he's coming back.

Thanks for the compliments guys, the comparisons to alexwrc are flattering but his stuff is waaaaay beyond what I could ever do. :bowdown:
 
WOW! Nice work! Keep it up!
 
Incredible stuff you guys have been posting! 👍

I'm suprise people aren't slobbering over this in the usual way.

Like bram said, it instantly reminded me of AlexWRC's 787B shot made almost a year ago.

I sincerely look foreward to more from you, if this is what your giving us now. Staying around these forums boosts anyone's skills. 👍

Massive props for that. :D

You emailed him? Did he give a reason as to why he left?

Also, it is fantastic, very similar to alex's. Out of curiosity, where did you find the plate?
 
Double H has won already. Still, I wanted to give this one a try. First time using Photoshop.

Very good shot Lucas!
 
I'm not recieving my copy before this week ends, so I'l have to wait for week 127 to get myself warmed up again 👍
 
If only this didn't end today, then I might think about entering it with something ludicrous. Oh well. Plus Double H's shot is amazingly done...
 
I will leave it open until tomorrow you (and possibly I) enter. I had to get a virus on my computer fixed and I'd like to enter as well.

Ah, alright. I will have to re-shoot tomorrow as the ones I did today kind of suck. I'll get it in soon-ish.


EDIT: It wasn't as salvageable as I thought. Though I might change it still if I do shoot tomorrow and it's better. (And I also might improve it a bit)

Final Entry (for now, anyway)
