I think if I could change anything I would maybe compose the picture differently. I'd also be interested to see it on a histogram to see if the back of that car is off the scale.

Here is one of mine. When taking pictures using the GT5 in-game camera, I get my kicks from trying to make my pictures look as real as possible. And its damn hard with a standard car! I also tried to give the picture a "period" 1970's camera feel. The focal point being slightly out of focus is intentional use of selective/differential focusing :sly: and I have fooled many people into thinking that it was in fact a real car.

I also don't normally like pictures of cars going away from the camera, however I think this one works well although I'm not sure why.

I would give it 7.5 and I would say you manage to get that 70's feeling where the picture has noise but it's too blurry to me but like the smoke though cause it's not pixelated:)

Very nice, loving the glowing brakes, I'd have given it a little bit of a blur to add a sense of motion to it though. 7/10.

I'mma repost mine, they didn't work last time ^^.

Ok so Flickr seems to be down at the moment, so just the one.

6/10 no counter steer to contrast this picture is to show a drifting S15.... sorry dude!

Nice dark photo, but a bit blurry and could have better angle. 6.5/10

9/10

Great photo, can't find any flaws, but it's not a perfect 10, just doesn't have the 'wow factor' (I hate that expression, used it for lack of a better term).

And Shadow, I agree, I took the photo literally as soon as I'd stopped counter steering, and I wasn't going to go through the whole replay again ^.^.

Next one of mine:

Little too glowy (new word), little too blurry. But still a nice pic. 6/10

Is this good?

Was the warm filter used here? The colours dont do it for me.. when I look at a Calsonic GTR, I kinda expect it to be blue.. :\
Also, it might have been better if you centered the car more since you left nothing really interesting to look at above the car
7/10 :)

I see what you were attempting in this photos, but it seems a little top heavy with nothing to slightly balance the photo a bit better.

Also, and this goes along with the top heaviness, I don't find myself focused on any single detail in the shot. Were you looking to attract viewers to the wheel? The reflection? This perplexity could be solved by perhaps going vertical and focusing more on the wheel and the SV vinyl, and perhaps show a bit of the reflection.

5/10

My turn!

those look so realistic benmasta! i give the first one a solid 9/10. the composition is great and the motion blur is a very good effect. also, the colors you captured are very interesting. the second one i give a 7/10. i like the balance of the background and the line on the road that leads my eye up to the gt. also, the lighting gives the picture an abnormally realistic look. yet i feel that a little bit of the sky could have been cropped off. the final picture is an 8/10 because the lighting and the movement captured is quite captivating and the angle gives a great view of the car, however once again i feel that a bit of the sky could have been cropped out.

now for a few of my pictures! i love photography in real life, this is my first attempt at GT5 photography, and would love some criticism.

I like the 3rd picture more becasue of the colour but I wish there is more smoke at the back to make it better and the two pictures are great as you manage to capture the action then rather making it look like it just park there

overall it's 7.5-8 👍

I like the composition of the first one, sharpness and sense of speed is good. Not fussed on the post processing though, far too green in my opinion. So I'd give it a 8/10.

The second one I think is awesome. Very realistic looking, the tight crop I think works well for it. Sharpness and sense of speed is spot on. I can't fault it so 10/10

Here's mine

Great photo! 👍 Just one thing, i dont like the purple effect on the front of the car so that took down my rating points for you :guilty: 9/10 well done!

sadly I cant see your Pic FullSp3d! :indiff:

but that Enzo looks niiice. Like in that one old game I cant remember right now....:

8/10

only decreased it by 2 points, because there is nothing special around the car. The Environment is a bit boring for my taste. But overall, great pic!

Hmmm not really sure what to think about this one. I can see that you've used a high f-stop to focus on the wheel but I find the out of focus bits distracting. There also appears to be white streaks across the photo maybe from having a shutter speed too low, kinda ruins the image having it across the focal point I find. So I'd have to give it a 6/10

Here's one of my latest:
