Too Ordinary, I assume?

 

[Sinfour]

Very nice Poll! Here is was my entry. Feedback is much appreciated

Matte Light Grey Ferrari​

 

[McZachenF1138]

.

Yeah, it was just a little too ordinary for me. But I do like the color though!

.

This was too ordinary for me as well. Maybe if you lowered the F number it would have had a better chance. 👍

 

[Diogo]

Feedback Zach please.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I really liked the sense of motion and that color works excelently on the Enzo, however there wasn't much composition to the shot. As you can see by the others, there are much more to photos than yours. I did like your shot though for the reasons I said above though! In fact, I believe it was one of the last ones to cut.

 

[Diogo]

Thanks !

I remember SM gave me a tip for it but I can't do it.

 

[bmxmitch]

Awwww, no love for a golden F40?
jk

That was my Entry

 

[Yauma9]

I may say, I really like the one with the Ferrari.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Too unusual an angle? Was the wheel too dark?

 

[McZachenF1138]

.

I just didn't care for the high and zoomed-in angle. And I know it was the whole theme to have a Ferrari not in red, but I also don't think that gold chrome works on an F40.

.

I specifically remember yours was the 13th picture that I had to squash into this 12 picture poll. I honestly can't remember why I cut yours however, but if I had to guess it'd be because it didn't have the whole car in the shot. Partial car shots are so hard to make look good from my experience, and you almost had it with yours.
The final picture to cut is always the hardest!
I do like your shot a lot though! 👍👍👍

 

[Nato_777]

Feedback Zach please.

This kind of shot I find hard to be believable in GT5 - it's where there is little or no shadow from the car to "tie" it to the road so it kind of looks as though it's just pasted in, if you get what I mean.

 

[Eric Demory]

What did I do wrong?

 

[Kaison]

I may say, I really like the one with the Ferrari.

+1!

But, aren't Ferraris supposed to be red?


GT planet could really use a bigger selection of smileys.

Thanks a lot! I realise that the angle wasn't really what you had in mind when you came up with the theme, but I liked the shot and went with it. And I understand that it would be hard to figure out which shot to put in the poll!

 

[mattmflok]

This was too ordinary for me as well. Maybe if you lowered the F number it would have had a better chance. 👍

for it turned out too ordinary...

FYI, the colour on that Scuderia is Blu NART, one of the colours available on the Scuderia

Feedback?

 

[McZachenF1138]

You didn't do anything wrong. It's just the game's shadows. I loved the lighting and the wheel/color combo of the car (one of my F40s looled exactly like that for a while 👍), but those blocky shadows really got me on that.

.

I love that color!!!
But, and it is a very big "but" indeed (), if you would have used "Panning Mode 3", I would not be needing to type this as you would have made the poll. 👍

 

[suzq044]

What did I do wrong?

I have to say I would've picked that one over one or two that are in the poll. Nice shot 👍

okay idk why i just like the look of panning mode 2 sometimes, and for whatever reason i decided that in this image mode 3 wasn't doing it for me.... Thanks for the input btw i love my baby blue F40 i'll get the exact color to you asap if you want.

Polyphony Digital's graphics pushed me back in this week.

I have to say I would've picked that one over one or two that are in the poll. Nice shot 👍

Thanks for the support, Susan!

Thanks guys. That was a close one, I'm happy with this win as I felt I had interpreted the theme pretty well.

Sorry for the lack of usual post poll reveal, this week I don't know who most of the entries belonged to as Zach hasn't given me the names yet. But I do know a few by the links so I'll give you those and everyone can reveal their own if they want.

So obviously this was mine

[cphbullet]

I know its really late to ask this but could i get some feedback?

​

Probably shouldn't have used the sepia filter

 

[Yauma9]

Thanks, Accro2008, ijkhk4, suzq044 and SVX!
And congrats Nato for the win!

Congratulations Nato! Loved the composition and the color.

Also thanks to McZachenF1138 and rpanico14 for the votes!
This was my first SS entry and I got the judges vote as well as that of another well known photomode contributor. Feels pretty good. 👍

 

[SVX]

Congratulations Nato! 👍

Thanks to Raphaele for stopping my shutout

Hey Nato, someone remains anonymous! Something about that white Enzo drew my vote, "who" clicked the shutter?
