Here I'll only be posting my very best shots from GT4, hopefully you like them. Please post your comments on what you think, what could be improved, what you like, etc. Note that all of the photos are clickable for much larger shots, some full-size versions. So, without further ado, the first two sets of shots!

RUF CTR2 @ SSR5









 
Ford GT @ NY
All photos are clickable for larger shots









I have wallpaper versions (1280X960 and no border) of the first 3 pictures if anyone would like them.
 
Wow, very promising!

Great shots, I can't wait to see more from you. 👍

In the mean time, feel free to look around my gallery (link in my sig).
 
Hey man, Great photos! Nothing wrong with them at all. Great batch. If you have some spare time drop by my gallery and tell me what you think :cheers:
 
Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the Ford GT ones. I was doing some experimentation with motion blur and blurring to increase the "glow" on the car. One worked better than the other :D
 
Great start! In fact I voted your Ruf at comp. I like your interpretation of shadows and reflections. Keep them coming 👍

Thanks, thanks, and thanks! I'm not sure what my interpretation of shadows and reflections is, at least it's not intentional, but if I have one, then cool. More will come, but likely not for a while due to major life events.
 
Shadows and light interpretation > Contrast, metallic look, burned background, vivid orange colors, reflections over surfaces... all linked to shadow Vs light. There are many ways of editing photos at night, and I like how you did it :)

Could someone tell me how to change the title of the thread? It used to be easy, but now I can't figure it out.

*edit* Nevermind.
 
great pictures!!! love all of them.
the last m3 pic is really realistic and the the last Esprit wow that blur is just awsome!!
 
nice pics mate, especially like the FORD GT and the m3!

stop by me gallery when you have the time.

👍 keep up thy good work
 
Thanks mavi and CCX! CCX, I've been by your gallery a couple times, it's pretty good. You have some really good comp entries too, which is what I mostly keep an eye on.

Just a short update this time, but these pictures have had a LOT of cleanup work done to them. Compare them to the originals and tell me what I missed or what I did well. Hope you like them!
 
I can see some textures on Aston bonet, but it looks great btw. You'd try to desaturate a little bit the front area of Impreza bonet too, avoiding the excesive saturation when dodgering. Nice pics btw.

Yeah, I couldn't manage to get rid of the textures on the Aston, if anyone has any tips, I'd like to hear them. The seeming oversaturation on the Subaru came from when it was saved. The jpeg compression added it back in after I smoothed it out.

Oh yeah, and thanks guys! :D
 
You mean the reflection on the hood right?
I usually make an selection over the sky reflection part
copy and paste it to a new layer
use g.blur or smart blur or noise/median ... try to use bigger value
it will smooth it out, but if you use g.blur
duplicate the blurred layer 4-8 times and merge them
use eraser or layer mask to take out the parts that over the tree's reflection

my other way doing it ... is to rebrush the texture
but very very time consuming
