The title sums the car up.

Thought it was that the car is so modest looking until you pop the bonnet open and see what powers it

Yessssssssssssssss!! First ever CCCL poll, after about 15 weeks of trying Kinda takes the pressure off a bit for future weeks, thanks ijkhk4

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Could I have some feedback please? I know it's not a great shot, and I didn't expect to make it into the poll, but it would be nice to know what I can improve on.

Congrats Dave, you are starting to pull away a bit. I think I'm starting to develop a sense for this. fkxpro isn't too far behind though.

 

[werty_56-1]

I voted for this :

because it reminds me about my M5 (on game ) and it's very realistic

But they others are very good too

 

[SVX]

C & C please?

​

 

[Crushed]

Not the best angle, colors, and looks... "off" kind of

I actually kinda like this one but my guess for not making it is that the BMW doesnt stand out from yellow lights maybe?

Way to "regular" and boring. The color goes in with the walls and road and theres not that much going on...

 

[ux2]

for me CL theme must be evident for my vote, liked fkx's shot best but no location reference

and when i think BMW i see angel eyes came down to 2 for me

just my analysis method

do you think this would have done better

I generally agree with that, I went with that image for realism points. I do think CCCL should feature the course too.

Thanks Jacob, although it's not even close to being over. There are some really great entries in the poll. You saw I posted some more pics on Flickr (which I ended up editing since I wasn't going to use them in the comp) - I was really close to changing my entry at the last second. We shall see whether I should have or not...

 

[BluckBoster]

could I have some feedback on this one as it was my first time to enter

thankyou
would this have done better

 

[bmxmitch]

Not surprised mine didn't made it.
Lot of great Entries this week and the poll choices are pretty damn good.👍

I only struggle with the track mostly. The pictures always look the same. Dark and a bit shiny with a little contrast of the lights....
Not my favorite track to shoot on, but you guys did a great job.👍

 

[Aragam]

Feedback please

D'accord!
That's why I didn't enter – and above all –
I do not like the 🤬 face of the car.

 

[Wallbreaker]

Feedback please

One of the don´ts in photography: When you capture the whole car, try to keep it in the picture frame, otherwise the viewer feels something is missing and kinda wants to look beyond the shot for the missing part of the car. An exception are close-up shots. Like the pic above this post. On the other hand there´s a lot of space just for the black sky. Space where you can see nothing = wasted space. So the conclusion is: It´s just the wrong angle. Otherwise you would have been fine.

D'accord!

I actually like the design of the BMWs

Too many fireworks???

 

[ShadowPeter]

Any Feedback??

 

[fkxpro]

Any Feedback??

I think the alignment is just off a tiny bit. Also the vanishing point where all the lines would meet, is through the windshield which feels a bit high. The exhaust flames are overkill, combined with the zoom lines it can give the after burner effect, but the flames also blend in with the paint.

If I had to put 1 / 8000, maybe give a better effect of flame. I also think a little too much blur the picture.

But, thanks flxpro.

Forgot to ask for feedback for mine:


I had a tough time voting from so many nice shots.

I didn't get this into the poll because of the jaggies and the picture will be better if it is zoom in and tilt up a bit.

It will be better if the shutter speed is set slower so that there will be more sense of motion.

C & C please?

​

A bit too wide and the top 1/3 of the picture feel a bit empty.

Feedback please

The lower right handside of the car is "cropped". It will be better if the shot includes the whole front of the car.

The first picture is a bit too dark. For both picture it is a bit off center with the vertical line with the bridge. It will be better if the lamp post in the second shot is excluded.

Actually, I love your first entry very much and it will be in the poll for sure. Too bad it has the front lip modification.

Any Suggestions?

This shot will be better if it is in portrait orientation so that it will include the roof of the car and exclude more than 1/2 of the rear end of the car.

Too many fireworks???

The fireworks is a bit distracting and the picture is a bit too tight and sticking to the bottom and left handside of the frame.

Any Feedback??

The backfire is a bit distored and the picture is a bit off level. It will be better if it is a bit zoom out so that the tunnel line will be touching the upper corners of the picture.

Your shot is not bad at all but there are just too many great shots to include in the poll. The picture is a bit yellow and it be better if the shot is taken after the tunnel. The lighting after the tunnel is more white and I think the white balance of your picture will be better if it was taken after the tunnel.

Thanks ijkhk4, I admit it's nowhere near the ones in the poll. Good work everyone 👍
