I love the driver at Kyoto! Looks like a cowboy challenge another one for a gunfight!

And the rest? Stunnin! 👍

Great pictures this week! No wonder I didn't get into the poll
Anyways, any feedback, Boabdulrahman?



Perhaps it was too dark for a B & W picture?

I loved the composition here but I felt that the car needed to pop up a bit. Also, the focus was a bit soft on the car.

This was my entry, any feedback would be much appreciated.

​

Loved the action in this shot and the car is greatly placed, but because of the high exposure, the sky was washed out and greatly damaged the shot in my opinion. Maybe by changing the time making it at sunset with low light could make it better.

This is my entry open for feedback, thanks.

The car was too centered and the angle was a bit "basic". The whole shot just doesn't suit with the monochrome filter.

Too dark?

Yes, you guessed it. The details are all washed away because it's too dark.

Some feedbacks would help =)​

The lighting is good but I felt that the car was filling in the whole frame in a negative way. Zooming out could help but all in all, I struggled to find anything special with your shot.

This was my entry, any feedback?

​

These kind of shot don't come out great in B&W. The purpose of this theme was not only to shoot any picture with the monochrome filter, but to actually shoot one that really blends with the filter.

That poll is magnificent.
Mine was this :

Any ideas how to improve Bo ?​

I personally use this location a lot, and I think that your shot lacked a more dynamic angle if you know what I mean. The lighting was good though.

Great pictures this week! No wonder I didn't get into the poll
Anyways, any feedback, Boabdulrahman?



Perhaps it was too dark for a B & W picture?

Love the idea behind this shot, but I think that the right side was too dark and the left side was too bright and that made the car seem washed out and unclear. With a change of angle and color for the car, I think it can be better.

This was mine​

Loved the uniqueness of this shot, but with the unfocused thing on the right being too bright and the color choice of the car being too bright also, it made the car blend in the background and seem too bright also. By using a darker color for the car next, I think it could improve the picture making it a lot more contrasted.

This was mine. Any feedback please?

​

I just love the movement in the wheels with the brake caliber visible, but I think you sacrificed too much exposure in order to do that and that made the whole shot a bit bright. As I mentioned above, I think this shot doesn't blend with the B&W filter a lot.
In the end, please excuse my english

Feedback please!

 

[Boabdulrahman]

Feedback please!

It is definitly unique ( I guess it's a headlight), but I thought it lacked a meaning or something I really don't know what in particular. In the end, it was close of the poll selection.

Amazing poll, all the entries are really wonderful; for my first competition I'm not sad I didn't get there because everyone did very well.
Any feedback for mine?

 

[ShadowPeter]

Thanks Boab.

Well, It's a good night shot. But, I think the car should be on the right side of the frame so that it doesn't look like it's escaping the frame. Other than that I have nothing to say as it is a clean shot but too uninteresting to be in the poll.
