Further explaination of the theme as described bynanabu.

"I would like to see your 'I am close to crashing or losing control of my car' image. It must be
very clear to see that your car is out of control, out of track or you are in the middle of few
other cars but sideways, Please don't send me a picture of your car flying all over the track,
no nonsense! Try to keep it real!


Cars: Only Premium.
Locations: All World race tracks / Any time - weather.
Phototravel: Nope.
Unique Restrictions: Many cars are welcome.

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.

This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • Entries for the competition this week must be sent to the Judge nanabu Via
    Private Message and not posted in this thread, any pics posted in this thread will not be
    considered for the poll. Use the Submit Entry button to ensure your entry goes to the judge.
  • Your PM must consist of a preview image no bigger than 500px at the largest side with a
    direct link to the full size image.
  • Your first entry will be your last, you will not be allowed to change your entry so be happy
    with it.
  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • Do not use a photo from your Gallery or post your photo shoot in your Gallery until after
    the competition (and poll if you made it) has closed.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Winner chooses the following week's theme and becomes Judge for that week.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Judge will select the top 10 entries and PM to the Host for the poll.
  • The poll entries will then all be hosted by me so that links cannot be traced to the owner
    of the photo.
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.

What you may not do to a photo:

  • Alter the geometry of the car. No stickers, or body modifications not available in game.
  • Add shapes or objects from outside of GT5.
  • Add a signature or personal watermark.
  • Add lens flares or "artistic" filters to image.
  • Remove items from shot (scenery, other cars).
  • Use more than 1 image (HDR, photo-stitching, multi-exposure).
  • "Creative cropping". The main "image" must be four-sided, with 90-degree, upright corners.
  • Selective car colour changing: masking different parts to create racing stripes or similar.

What you may do to a photo:

  • Crop and/or resize an image.
  • Adjust the level or curve values.
  • Alter the colour tone of the image (gradient maps, photo filters, colour balance, etc).
  • Car body colour change (all stickers/design features must remain, see "Remove Items" rule).
  • Adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, shadow/highlights.
  • Enhance shadows or highlights (dodge and burn tools in Photoshop, for example).
  • Add noise and/or diffuse glow.
  • Add a post-game tilt-shift blur, or apply a motion blur to a stationary Photomode shot.
  • Make use of Layer Blend Modes.
  • Use a Sharpening filter and/or tool.
  • Scale or enlarge rims.
  • Remove or modify license plates.
  • Remove the GT watermark.
  • Clean up or fix jaggies, texture pixelation, or colour separation.
  • Add a vignette effect.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

Hi,

do You mean something like this?


But it wasn't really out of control :-)

Out of control is rather this one:

But I like the composition of the first one more.

And a little bit harder:

Unfortunately already flying...

@GG71 , the first one would be nice but the 2 others are waay too extreme
 
I'm thinking reckless driving on an empty mountain road but let's see where I will (almost) crash my car this week :) This is the first time in a pmc that a link to the replay would also be really nice :D
 
This is going to be hard - I never lose control or crash. :p
 
Okay so I didn't use any of Fishy this time :p
fyi, I'm using this each time I send an entry in, LIKE A BOSS.

Great theme, can't wait to see the poll. FYI, what I'm now saying is something that might make you think I'll enter in time, but you just know I won't. ;)
