It’s cool that you are experimenting new things, but, I don’t quit like this last update. I prefer all other updates than this one. Not trying to uncourage (sp?) you in any means, by the contraire, just that you can see what to do and not to in next updates.

I don’t know how far you went with the cleaning of the car but here is what I think.:

1st. What you used in the first picture? The car looks a bit strange, and so has the background.

2nd.The second picture is the best IMO. I like the cleaning. It could be more worked though.

3rd. Third picture has a cool angle, but why has one headlight all white while the other not? And the body lines are a little bottom up.

4th. The Angles are almost the same has for the other Jaguar update.

5th. Car color combination. I always think that some colors don’t go very well with a car, and that’s one. (But that’s my taste).
Well, in overall, it is not a bad update, but is not clearly one of the best…I think you would like to know what I (or other person) really think, since you say you are experimenting new things.
 
the first pic looks artistic, like it was taken from a movie, but like lds said, i think you went a bit far. the angles are the same, should of experimented with different angles. if i were you i would of just used the last photo.

Its funny, I totally agree with everything you just said!
This set was taken at the same time as the other Jaguar pictures. I tried a few new editing styles, I like them but, it still felt ... well like its missing some things. For one this car is a pain to clean, as you said the color isn't that great, but its the only color that I though fit at the time... I'll try a few more again, but I know they wont have the same effect. I posted these pics to get feedback on how to edit better, so your comments were greatly appreciated!!👍
I'm still trying new things, and to be totally honest, I have only been editing photos for about month and a half or so... though I have attended graphic arts classes and other computer related classes I never really got into it... so we shall see how this goes.
Thanks allot for the honest feedback, I'll keep trying.:dunce:👍

I personally like all of them, but your right... together they don't complement one another. I'm going to keep trying a few new things and keep the comments in mind. Thanks allot for the feedback. :)
 
SICK! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:​

do you mind telling me how on earth you did that ? it's gotta be one of the best muscle car shots i've ever seen here so far as i can remember.
you should take the Audi Nuvolari concept and apply that technique to it.
i bet it would look awesome, specially with a bit of motion blur.
 
I continue to asking. Who are you? It’s an amazing picture!!! It’s like, the car was washed but it is still wet, reflecting the building. I don’t have words to describe it. +REP :eek::drool:👍:bowdown:

How I do it? Lots of layers I guess... to be honest I didn't even notice how well it came out. Till my girl saw it and asked to see the original and was shocked at the difference. She said she couldn't believe how much and how fast I tapped that program. O' yea, by the way, I tried that Audi and well it just doesn't have the same effect. It just doesn't pick up any reflections. I do need to try the motion blur though, great idea.💡 Thanks for the visit and the comment.:)👍

Yea.. Thats what my girl said, looks like the car is still wet.
Thanks for your comments and support over the duration of this gallery. :D:tup:

It’s a great shot!!! :top:

Glad you like it, it has a soft yet very moody tone to it. I'm happy with the way it came out. Thanks for the comment, btw whens your next update? looking forward to it. :)👍

:lol: It had the same effect on me. Sometimes I just get lost in a tune while looking at a picture and that picture has that effect for me. I'm planning other things for the Audi, thanks for the idea. :)👍 I really liked the panel, maybe I'll do something like that if I can find an original idea for it. Thanks for the visit and comment 👍


NC Week 11 -2.0-TENGP- Competition entry:

Wow, so clean, so moody…so cool. I am almost without words…You really have the skills to this…
You could use a little the smudge tool on that edges on the front headlight though.

Well I don’t know…I am thinking about making a panel with my photomode tournament entries….but I think I am not getting to inspired…although school is killing me, I still have the time…hmm
 
All fixed. :D You have a great eye for detail I must say. I always miss those things, Thanks for the heads up :)👍
Inspiration is essential, I think. I loved your panel work on the range rover and the Lancia Delta. Whatever you got in mind I'm sure it will be great. 👍
 
My first panel presentation.

awesome work on the panel! very original and classy. the pictures are well done as well, but my favorite has to be the last one. 👍
 
This Corvette update is interesting. Quite original shots and a very good presentation!!
The classic look of the panel is really good, U did well mate!!

:cheers:
 
Thanks for the comments guys! :)👍 I really appreciate you guys stopping by and taking the time to comment.
And for all those who liked the "chrome" shot I think you'll like this.

Not really. That car has a amount of bad textures, and the ground could have some noise. I think it doesn’t work in this car has well has it worked in the other one.

Has for the CCCL, the wheels could be spinning a little more, and I (in my taste) am not very keen for half side car, and it’s a little bit too dark.

This is, of course, in my opinion. (Just one question. When I do this type of…more critique comments, do you rather prefer that I send you a P.M.? Instead of posting in the gallery?)

I really like the fact that you have an eye for detail. personally for me quality really depends on mood. Those who know me have said that they have learned to tell my mood by the qualities of my work. I by no means ever consider anything I do better than anything else, because in the end its all an expression of the creator and there mood at the time.
As for the comment I don't mind others expressing what they like to see. So its up to you. ;)
Thanks for dropping by and letting me know what you think. :)👍
 
i like your entry for the cccl, but the corvette doesn't quite cut it this time :D, but it's good for an art point of view if you know what i mean. i bet it would look top notch on canvass or paper. i would suggest that you should have rather used 'gaussian blur' at a considerable rate for the tarmac/asphalt, that way the car would stand out. the surface of the car has a lot of bad textures, but i still like the concept :)👍 it's really artsy.
 
Excluding the Bad Textures parts of the car, I think that this one is a lot better than the other. The car stands out more, and there aren’t many “color splash” (I don’t know the exact name). 👍
 
Your style is cool....the smoothness and sheen on your 69 camaros is crazy. My personal opinion....some shots are taken too far, but it reflects your taste...not mine. That's not to say I'm not still impressed....awestruck is a better term.
I love the cars you pick.....the panel presentation is classy......and that purple cougar photo is imbedded in my memory for good.....looking foward to seeing more:tup:
 
Well its been awhile since i last came here. I got to say, wow! :eek: that is one amazing panel you got there. The photos are not bad either. The chrome look from the second shot looks better than the first. Keep up the good work! Will be looking forward to your future updates.... 👍
