Boted for Voabdulrahman! It's unique.

 

[CakeConjuror]

Man, just wondering why didn't my F1 shot make it?

 

[JTSnooks]

Odd choices, but went with the one that exemplified the theme the most.

Close-up of an exhaust system in an unexpected manner.
( vw bettle @ Madrid )
Not good enough ?🤬

 

[Raphaele]

@yamalen:
I can feel the idea behind your shot. On a photo however I want see something focussed which I miss in your shot. Your aperture and focus settings are confusing me. Maybe just me …

@CakeConjuror:
Took me a while to discover the exhaust system in your shot.
Overall the job was not only to show parts of an exhaust system but to present fine GT5 photography. I am sure you will cultivate your skills by future comps. 👍

I focus on the clear house but the pipe of the exhaust system is also clear.

Your aperture and focus settings are confusing me.

One of the goal's of Art is to confuse the watcher.

Have a nice day

hey Raphaele, i know my jet shot was not to the level of the poll pics and it was a bit of a lark but was it too far outside the box to try, i'd appreciate your thoughts/impression.

Nice idea and I appreciate your way of thinking.
But:
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS:
Focus has to be on intake or exhaust systems/parts of the car
Since a jet is not car I had no chance to lift your entry to the poll.
But please do not stop thinking different.
The right idea at the right place might offer chances you might not have dreamt of… (or is it dreamed, you know what I mean )
Looking forward to your entries in future comps!
👍

Heh ok thanks for the feedback 👍
I thought enough focus was given to the exhaust port seeing how everything else is blurred but heh

I can see the flames, I can hear the roaring and I find it absolute "GEIL"!
However, this is far away from being a close-up photograph

 

[Nuschel01]

@Nuschel01:
...

LoL I haven't seen that restriction Maybe I just understood it wrong

 

[hgrf93]

Feedback please?

 

[f1_stig]

Feedback please?

needs to be closer to the exhaust, focusing on it, not just including it

 

[Raphaele]

Thank you f1_stig.
I second that…
