Final Entry

"Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?"


 
Wait. Are you driving the Nürburgring backwards?
:lol: You got me! The lighting was better that way so I turned around - had a blast driving the Ring the wrong way! :D
 
Wowza, so many amazing entries, just when I thought I had a good entry xD Love that mini classic especially :drool:
 
Are we all seeing the same RUF photo here? No offence intended to Nato but the background is too in-focus and distracts from the car, the lampost stands out more than the vehicle, and the colour balance between the car and the green background looks awkward. The fence also leads my eye straight off the image and nowhere near the car in the foreground. Positioning the car exiting the frame also looks a bit odd to me, that rarely looks good unless you're focusing on the rear end of the car!

But maybe it's just me. SMFan's entry is much more up my street! Perfect lighting, location, colour balance and composition. The rule of thirds has been carefully considered, the colour of the vehicle works as it contrasts against the light background and the depth of field blurs the background just enough to make it less distracting without taking away any idea of where it was taken. It's nice to see the treeline leading my eye across the image to the vehicle too. 👍
 
Then can my GIMP 2.6 edit pictures as good as other editing software? (Asking for advices :))

It's not as good as PS but it can definitely be a challenger if use it smartly.
Though rather than using Gimp, i recommend you to use Paint.net. The closer free editing software you can get to PS. ;)
 
Quick Question: Has anyone ever won a 2.0 competition with an unedited pic?
I'm asking this 'cause I want to join comps with 2.0 rules, but unfortunately, I don't have good editing skills and a good editing software (I have GIMP 2.6, but I don't know how to get the best out of it). So I was thinking of joining 2.0 comps with unedited photos.

I don't know. I enter 2.0 comps all the time, and all my photos are unedited. I've even made a few polls.
 
Hey guys. I dont normally do this but could anyone offer me a quick critique this week? I'm struggling with my entry and I dont know wether to keep it or bin it. I guess the fact I'm having doubts tells me all I need to :p but still if anyone could offer any advice that'd be grand :D Cheers dudes

FINAL ENTRY - CHANGED


Please click it for Lightbox

Is this car alright, or should I pick a different one?

I'll probably change anyway..

Changed - probably should have entered this in the tournament but I think the Swift is suitably underused and extraordinary :)
 
Man...picking this poll is going to be difficult...and voting will be even more so...!!!
