Deadline

January 17, 2018
 
My personal top 5 shots are entries #20, #24, #26, #28 and #31. All for different reasons - let me explain:

#20 - Crisp and clean livery, lighting and sense of motion are spot on, but the exposure seems too low and the composition could be improved (rear wing blends into the background)

#24 - This could easily be a factory livery - it's simple, but the accents (red line, prancing horse, flags) do make it stand out; the car appears to be slightly out of focus and the composition could be more inviting

#26 - Lovely depth of field and background blur, both exposure and shadows are spot on; there's very minimal colour banding and a few artefacts at the back end of the car, but the smooth lighting easily makes up for this

#28 - Toning and contrast are on another level (pun intended :D) in this shot; the car could've been sharper, but that would've taken away from the sense of motion, I suppose; the livery itself is not too exciting, but I think that it fits well into this setting and looks realistic

#31 - Well, this is one great livery, which fits the car very well; unfortunately, said car hasn't been set in scene well enough, in my opinion - the background appears too busy and the lighting doesn't add much to the car; I'm pretty sure that this one is being held back a lot by the overall composition
 
I really liked #28 as a photo, but I couldn't forgive seeing a Cadillac livery on a Porsche. Given the theme, that immediately put it to the back of the pack for me. Sorry!

#9 got my vote because of the rationale behind the livery. I have such a soft spot for 90's rally cars. Seeing such an obscure livery recreated here, and then shot well, meant it had to get my vote.
 
Was hard to choose out of these entries as there are so many good ones, but here's a few that stood out to me:

Option #2: I tend to be a sucker for racing action shots so this immediately caught my attention. Great looking liveries, just the right amount of lighting and they are doing battle on track. Can't ask for more 👍

Option #7: Absolutely love this, I get Speed Tribe vibes from it. One of the best motion shots I've seen and as someone who loves contrast with lights and colors, this does that beautifully. Livery looks amazing as well. Not necessarily sure I could see the ACO allowing an interesting car (even though they've allowed stranger things :lol:), but it doesn't hurt to dream.

Option #24
: While simple in contrast to the others, I dig the livery quite abit as its on a car I feel doesn't need a lot to make it standout. The scene and the amount of blur really works well here.

Option #28: Quite fond of those old car magazine pages with those stylized car ads so this really appeals to me. The lighting, placement and positioning is done really well. Some will question the livery choice but if they're aware of the interesting origin underneath the bodywork between this car and the car that livery usually adorns (which is sadly missing), they could actually appreciate the clever choice. I see what you did there ;)
 
Thanks for the entries, and thanks for organizing the contest threads. LOVE 'EM!

Thank you for the constructive criticism, and after reading your notes on my picture, I agree whole-heartedly. This will make me try harder in the future.

To whomever, thank you for the one vote. It was an awesome livery... just needed a better photo. :(

And congrats to the winner(s).
 
@craw4dm, you're welcome! And it still is an awesome livery... Would love to see you create a whole set of photos of this car with different compositions. 👍
