Thanks guys. I was happier with the way this one came out. JT, I was aiming to make the background more uniform in color and let the car stand out more. Anyway, doesn't seem like this one is popular. Probably because of the car.
 
Amazing, that image is amazing. I love how you manage the tone, very realistic look. You should make a tutorial to enhance the color balance!

Thanks alex. I don't do anything special that would justify a tutorial. Just some color toning. I think I'll chaulk this shot up as a miss;)
 
Thanks guys, and thanks for the 10,000 visits to my gallery. To celebrate, just a shot of the Xanavi Skyline at Nurburgring.

Amazing shot mate:drool: The blur is top notch and I love the cleanlyness ( spelling ) of the car:tup: The reflections are amazing too:D.. Awesome
 
The Skyline shot is great Cod!👍 The reflections on the windsheild and fenders look really nice. And I know this is probably GT4's fault, but I think it would look much better if there was more of a shadow under the car. It looks like the car is floating because of how you can see the outline of the tires on the road. Maybe if you painted in a shadow so that you could'nt tell where the tires are hitting the road, it would look better. Just a suggestion.:)
 
Not bad, although you can see some "selection lines" around the edges of the spoiler and such. It is a very unique shot of the Nurburgring though, as generally pictures from there look really boring. Nice work :)
 
I'm agree with 440. I usually edit the shadow of that king of shots, and resulst are noticeable. Btw, the pic is amazing as usual, with pretty real reflections and great blur in the background. Another very nice work C_F!

Thanks for the comments guys. I believe I know why the shadows didn't come out properly (which I didn't notice until it was pointed out): I used a black to white gradient overlay and I believe it pulled a lot of the shadow off the road. I'll have a look at the .psd file when I get home. Other than that, I wouldn't even know where to start with regards to adding a shadow.
 
I couldn't tell you a good way to do it. I tried adding in snow for the same type situation on some of my pics, and it...well, it didn't work at all.
 
Nice picture. In that last update, its perfect how the car is perfect and everything else is blurred. Keep up the good work!!

When you get a chance, check out my gallery, the link is in my signature.
 
Brutal Xanavi shot, one of the best blur "works" I ever seen on a pic. Very realistic also. A VERY GOOD update C_F!!!
 
Thanks for the comments guys:)

Here are a couple more Xanavi Shots. Not as good as the first, but what the heck;)






​
 
Looks great to me C_F. That 2nd shot has a nice blur, and good work with the border. The 1st one is very realistic...and I like the contrast also. Cheers:)
 
Oh, wow! I really like that blur shot Cod. Great work once again. Oh and the first shot is good too.:)
 
Amazing shot, I specially love last one, impressive lighting you created. The tarmac gives an awesome contrast, even pretty real mate. Very very nice work 👍

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure how the second shot would go over;) I kept messing with it until I decided that enough was enough:D

Anywho, a different Viper this time around. Bit of a darker feel to it. Minimal clean up (just straightened some jaggy endges) as I didn't want to lose the nice reflections.

The first one is more to my liking, just like many others here.

And on the Viper shot: it has a really nice atmosphere to it. The lighting is good, too.
 
That Viper is just amazing mate:tup: I love it,, very clean and it looks like it's ready to race:) And the last Xanavi shot is awesome:) Those reflections:drool: Amazing work:tup:
 
the Viper looks great!! very realistic imo :) well done
 
That Viper shot is great! It has a lot of attitude to it.
 
The Viper is amazing. Seriously. Awesome job :)👍
 
Another very realistic shot C_F. the sky is also impressive, looks very smooth. A very good quality update, just continue like that:)
 
Wou, that colors are... amazing! The saturation and lighting of the car is really integrated intro the scene, even pretty real for me. I don't know do you edit the images so hard, and results are so well balanced mate. Surely you know what are you doing :dopey:

Cod, you completly blew me off my chair with the second Xanavi shot! Beautiful, just beautiful 👍
 
Thanks guys.

Alex, I sometimes know what I'm aiming for with a shot and this one was one of those:) I do a lot of the same things with all my pictures, but just mess around with the settings of each. One thing I do use in almost every shot is a sepia toning at a very low level. I find it lends a more realistic look to a lot of shots.
