I'm sorry for asking but I'm with a doubt here.
Remove items from shot (scenery, other cars).

@Nato_777 and @SlipZtrEm What does this mean exactly? I'm asking this because it looks to me that making a black layer hidding the background / parts of the original image is the same as removing them. I didn't see the original shots from entries #1 #7 and #13 but from the reflections on the cars I would assume they were taken in daylight or at least with some light from the top/sky.

They look great indeed. But IMO it's easy to make a shot like that putting a black layer on top of everything we don't want and bring up the "silhouette".

I'd like to see this clarified since it we can't remove a sign or a person we souldn't be able to remove an entire BG. If that is not the case in these particular shots, I would like see this rule explained for future entries.

I'll give my vote after some explanation.

nanabu, now it's obvious that in your case its all good. But you have to agreed with my doubt at least.

 

[nanabu]

Sometimes i also doubt but then .. it´s not my job to go after the cheaters

Mine was Spa at night, so don't look at me. xD

It may be advisable to express any doubts in the original competition thread and/or via PM to SlipZ or the authors of the said "doubts" 👍.................. It can or may sway influence on potential voting in a Poll thread otherwise.

Just to clear this up I see mine is among those mentioned.... I won't go into detail how I achieved the final result here other than to say anyone is welcome to open mine in an editing program and whack the exposure up to 100........ nothing was added or taken away and only a duplicate layer was used to change the levels.
