CLOSED POLL: 2.0 Advanced Competition 103 (W: zzz_pt)

[SlipZtrEm]

Further explanation of the theme, provided by McZachenF1138:

"We all have our favourite brands of things that we use or even just admire. So that is what I would like you to try to convey through the use of paint on your cars. Maybe a few examples will get you're brains a workin': light blue and orange for Gulf Oil; white, black, and blue for the Bavarians; white, red, and blues for Martini Racing. You're not limited to car related companies though, so maybe you're nation's colours, favorite football team's colours, etc etc. So anything really! Photos will not only be judged on composition, but also on how well the colours represent the company/brand/nation."

Very cool poll... I had to rock Adidas!

Feedback pleeease? I love the Tuning Garage Top Secret... I always enjoyed watching Smokey Nagata doing massive burnouts and top speed runs

Both of your guys' car s are drift car s right? Maybe it should've been drifting? And make sure to set the car apart from the background by blurring the background a bit or desaturate.

Wasn't expecting much with my picture but feed back is always good for improvement.

 

[McZachenF1138]

:@: Zach: I don't mean to sound harsh, but the main reason why it didn't make the cut was because I wanted cars that represented something through its colors, not so much a straight up replica of one of the company's cars.
As far as composition goes, I think if you would have moved a lot closer to the car and then zoomed out combined with a lower shutter speed you would have been better off. 👍

:@: GTracer98: The angle was just a tad too extreme for my liking and I felt it lacked originality with your choice of Monster Energy. I think the main turn off here though was the lack of editing done to the photo. I did like however that you followed the theme perfectly.

:@: Kenny: Yours was honestly one of the last ones I had to cut. I felt that you did interpret the theme as how I envisioned, but I didn't care much for the noise you added to the photo. Without that and if you lightened it up just a bit, I wouldn't be needing to tell you this as you would be in the poll.

Thanks for the feedback McZachen.

 

[driftinziggy]

Thank you for the feedback.. I knew that it was sort of too literal.. the gold car/wheels and tone was the color idea.. but the car is certainly a replica so it all got lost in that .. no worries though.. the poll had some really great ideas and I am in no way disappointed...

It's not as nice as coke, fatbuffguy...

 

[Fat Buff Guy]

Very constructive. Well done.

 

[McZachenF1138]

:@: FBG: While yes, Coke is waayyy better than Pepsi, that wasn't why you were excluded from the poll. I was looking more for the colours of the cars and and less of actual in-game advertising along with the cars. Yes, I know NBDZ made it and you didn't but his was more of a space-filler than anything; and one that I thought looked better. If the two of you were in each others' positions, I would be explaining this to him.
If I could say anything about how to make the photo a little better, it would be to zoom out ever so slightly to give a little more space around the subject. 👍

 

[Fyshokid]

The Pepsi one would've gotten my vote, had it been included. But yeah, I don't blame McZachen for not including it...

 

[Fat Buff Guy]

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it!

 

[cphbullet]

Could i have some feedback on mine to zach?

Not a Braveheart fan?

Freedom!​

 

[McZachenF1138]

:@: cphbullet: The editing you did was fantastic as well as the sense of speed you created, but I just felt that the others were a bit better and more original in terms of their composition. 👍

 

[McZachenF1138]

Yeah yeah, double post. But I feel that editing my above post would be weird. Anyway...

Congratulations z³ on your first (? ) competition win, let alone a 2.0 one!
