CLOSED POLL: 2.0 Advanced Competition 58 - WARM (W: ceiling_fan)

[Leicht]

Damn that's a good poll.
I thought I could make it but the level is so high !
Can I have criticism anyway? What didn't do it for you RG ? Too pale maybe?

I thought that you'll be in the poll when I first saw this!

 

[gtuned]

Well, I ain't surprised any

Alright, bear with me

Any C&C?
​

This was a top runner. The editing on it is solid, the bloom on the wheels and plate detract my eyes a bit and the background is a bit too busy and takes my eyes off of the Vette. Good shot all around though.

Fido, yours was one that just missed the cut. What kept it from the polls is something that we all have to deal with and thats the color separation/low quality gradient of the sky. It just took away too much from the image for me. And that horizontal star thing looks a bit weird. Great shot though.

Some really awesome entries in the poll I must say!
I'd love some comments on how to improve my photo, since I've never really used the filters at all before.

​

Standard model wasn't a big issue here, it just didn't "stand out" amongst the others. However, you do have an image that is fairly realistic and has a nice "its about to storm" feel to it. Just didn't make the cut.

Well, I ain't surprised any

This was my #9. 👍

Wow! I was pretty confident I'd make the poll...too bad...
Any comments/feedback?

Right rear tire cut off, the buildings in the distance are really messy, and its a bit too sharp for my tastes. A few angle and editing tweaks here and there and its in the poll.

.

What do you think of mine

Weird pixelation on this one, also the angle/composition are pretty basic. Don't be afraid to mix up some crazy angles.

wow i though i was in the polls. comments please

2.0 Week 58 by f1_stig, on Flickr

I appreciate the non-car entry here, but the buildings are so dark it honestly takes away from the image. Had the silhouettes of said buildings been a bit more interesting it probably wouldn't have been an issue with me. Its a solid shot though.

C & C please?

​

Like Fido's, its all about the gradient sky quality. Also a tad sharp. If GT5 would somehow fix that issue with their game, it would make life much easier in these comps. Good shot though!

Now remember this is all just my opinion and I say this stuff to help you in the future comps and galleries. Cheers and thanks for the great entries!

Thanks for the tip, RG! I am trying to master 2.0 editing and (hopefully) enter next week poll.

The gradient filter worked well, didn't have much banding on it. Its just the angle is uninteresting. Change up the angle a bit, zoom out a tad, edit the photo a bit to make it pop and its not bad.

Here is a poor quick example on my part of a few edits to simply make your shot stand out more. Angle, saturation, contrast, noise.

That's the thing, many of these photos are not far off from being all poll worthy. They just need some tweaking to make them stand out more.

Thanks for the current votes.

That was soooooo hard to choose...

Its got a nice fiery/mysterious quality to it, but the red's on it seem kind of muddy. Also not enough fine details of the car show. The mood is really good though, a few lighting/angle/color tweaks and its probably in the poll. Keep up the good work!
