Lack of motion?


This 640px version is just made for this thread. my entry was originally in 500px.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I think I'll start enforcing a rule that all competition threads will see a limit of 500px images...

 

[bmxmitch]

Go Go Power Rangers!

Btw, I miss my favorites: rpanico, moglet, ThaSyn and CCShaft + some more....

But I'm sure ZEROX had a bad headache whilst choosing between all those masterpieces. OR did you send the wrong list to Slipz?

Firstly as Slipz put it, keep your previews to 500px please and thanks.

On the pic itself, I cannot tell whether the Delta is flying within the track or flying off it, which makes it confusing for anyone to see the pic

 

[vrajdeber]

Not surprised that I ain't included in the poll, with so many great entries.

 

[hawk2201]

Wish i have multiple votes
But ... too many good stuff ! 👍
Excellent works guys!

Amazing poll A bit disappointed not to make it, so any feedback on my entry?

​

 

[Moglet]

Hmmm...just went to copy and paste my photo here for possible feedback and the URL has changed itself to some insanely long one! Very bizarre. Here it is anyway:



Can anyone offer up some improvements? I thought I had a genuinely good shot as I made sure to correct my past mistakes; no over exposed or under exposed areas, the composition leads your eye down the photo, there's a sense of movement and action and the reflections are cleaned up as much as they can be!

Seems the only time I act upon previous feedback keeps me out of the polls

Nope. It's all well but had it been a little bit to the left, i would consider it.

That 2d forest on the bg.
This shot were one of the few to get knockout.

Nothing wrong at all. No improvement needed. 👍
I really love the surrounding is dark and the car is brighter but then again, one of the few to get knockout.

Only to be bother by the smoke. I don't blame you on this.
It's GT5 problem.

Go Go Power Rangers!

Yes, it's a headache.

If the poll could extend at least 20, those three entry would have their places in. Just CCShaft photo. If he stick with his first entry, he would definitely gets in.

 

[CCShaft7]

.... My head over-ruled my heart and I thought my first shot may have been too 'Arty'. To be completely honest with myself though I was much happier with the quality of my 'changed' entry and don't regret it.

A couple of the poll pics don't exactly float my boat but thats a personal taste thing.... all in all an unenvious task picking the final poll this week. A big 👍 to those that made it.

 

[Tracksmith]

Could I please get some critique on my photo.
I genuinely thought i had a chance of making the poll.

I'm missing you here. And damn, we have a winner. Already. Congrats DarkR, I can't possibly see anyone taking your lead. And w00t, second place!

 

[Moglet]

Thanks for the feedback ZEROX! What did you mean by the smoke though? I made sure it wasn't jaggy or low quality. 👍 I voted for Ben's photo; it's sheer art! I love it's simplicity and it goes to show that you don't always need to apply filter after filter to produce a fantastic photo.

 

[mattmflok]

I see ZEROX's headache in just choosing what to vote for, let alone what goes to the poll.

I guess ZEROX shouldn't have that sort of headache in axing my shot from the poll, but I'd love to know what put it off?

 

[nanabu]

and i thought me and mitch would lead this week´s poll , lol dream on xD

 

[Aragam]

👍 I voted for Ben's photo; it's sheer art! I love it's simplicity and it goes to show that you don't always need to apply filter after filter to produce a fantastic photo.

Ummm thank you for the vote Mog 👍
You did press the right button didn't you? O.o

 

[ThaSyn]

Nice poll:tup:. Mine would 've been totally different, though. So many good shots.

 

[Moglet]

Ummm thank you for the vote Mog 👍
You did press the right button didn't you? O.o

Oops, sorry about that, I pressed the wrong one! I really shouldn't vote from my phone. Oh well, your photo is still superb and still deserves the vote 👍

I think this is a pretty plain shot by your standards, Moglet. Sure it has good compositional qualities, but it looks like every other rig-style shot out there. To me at least, a good photo no matter the subject, should tell a story that may or may not be seen at face value.

 

[rev91]

a very difficult choice... i love some of the shots in the poll,but i have choice darkr shot! great atmosphere,great cars,great focus and a great editing!

 

[Leicht]

I'm quite surprise that I manage to get into the poll Thanks

Zerox, I'm just wondering which would you choose between these two for the poll? I was contemplating to change it to the GTR but I'm afraid it has too much colour in it

[ZEROX]

.... My head over-ruled my heart and I thought my first shot may have been too 'Arty'. To be completely honest with myself though I was much happier with the quality of my 'changed' entry and don't regret it.

It's 'Arty' and that's what i'm searching for. It's rarely potrait by the GTPer and you've done well on this. 👍

It's okay, there're still alot of competition ahead.

Could I please get some critique on my photo.
I genuinely thought i had a chance of making the poll.

The sky and the fish-eye effect didn't go quite well.
I really love the angle and the editing style but that's it and that's the pros and cons on you.

You need to participate more! You still have these chances! 👍

It's more look like a ghost than a smoke. Very,very less smoke coming tyre than a real one could do.
Like i said, it's GT5 problem for making it like this.

Plus, like Benmasta said i'm surprise with your entry. Not your usual one. Thought you might go for more aggressive move but that photo is not bad either.

I see ZEROX's headache in just choosing what to vote for, let alone what goes to the poll.

I guess ZEROX shouldn't have that sort of headache in axing my shot from the poll, but I'd love to know what put it off?

Not bad for an unedited photo. 👍
But that's where the problem come too.
You've the angle, the tone, and the athmosphere but no editing is quite hard to get into the poll with all of these ASDFGHJK photos.

You should get Paint.net. It's free plus it's more closer to Photoshop. 👍
I'm really looking forward on your first editing photo. 👍

I'm quite surprise that I manage to get into the poll Thanks

Definitely the last.
What i'm searching for is uniqueness. The odd. The rarity and you just nail it!
Many try multiple car shot with same model in one photo but majority of them failed.

You definitely owns it along with small portion of others who suceed. 👍

 

[bunchchristian]

Feedback please?

 

[ZEROX]

Feedback please?

I love the athmosphere on this. It gives vintage feeling in colours. 👍
And the full-size is tasty.
No qualm on this photo but i've to choose 15 best of the ASDFGJKL, hence byebye to this.

 

[Taiga]

How about this? Felt it was rather weak compared to the tons of better ones in this week. (Great job everyone!) Would love feedback, though!

That's the particular word that describes why I decided to choose the Citroen 💡 I was trying to be different than everyone else but it looks like I've manage to...

Edit: Ok, this is my last time asking opinions from you ...which one would you chose for this poll, again? (I know they're almost the same)
