8.5/10 Terrific Angle, Perfect composition. But a bit more color would do nicely

Road Course - Daytona_4 by KimoKiller200, on Flickr

6.5/10
Good shutter speed, good aperture, but I think that angle makes your photo look too simple, less exciting than it could be. I also think it would have been better if you changed the orientation of the frontal axis, so the front wheels were more exposed.

Here goes mine:

Excellent angle. I love how the glare on the road is leading the car. If the exposure were bumped up 0.1 or 0.2 so that there were more details visible on the car, it may look a bit better. But I like how mysterious the shot is. 👍
8/10

Someone can take my place.
 
Great shot! Focus is spot on. However, it seems a bit... bland. The car is completely centered and there is not a whole lot of character in the shot. Perhaps if the car were a bit to the side, then it would be a bit more exciting. Also, try raising the E.V. up just a tad. That would bring out a lot of details.

Good shot, a great start. You need to lower the F-number to get some blur into the picture, the picture is feeling a bit bland, I suggest that you zoom out a bit and position the car in one of the corners. Nothing major apart from that. 6/10.


 
Nice NASCAR shot.

I like the sense of speed in the picture and angle of the shot. I dunno why but I think it would be better with more cars in shot because lets face it , it is NASCAR.

Heres mine

I can't think of anything really wrong with it, but I think it'd be better if that one car was in line :p 7/10

I like it. Its not boring even though its still, and the angles pretty cool too. Kinda forget its standard because of all that detail. 8/10

8.5/10 Great sense of space and very nice scene. Wish there was more light though.

I would like someone to critique each picture. I am trying to get that realistic look, so tell me how close or far i am. I play with a bright setting on the tv, so sorry if its a bit dark

9/10 - Perfect picture! Nearly everything plays very well, making the Nissan look photo-realistic. I think a wee bit more exposure could be done though, for a bit details.


7/10 - Looks a bit bland. I think the pic would be better if exposure was raised, or playing around with some filters. The black-and-white tint doesn't really help with the picture.


8/10 - Excellent shot, but it lacks something. Maybe it is the sense of speed, or something completely different.


8/10 - Great shot. There isn't too much smoke that it will block out the subject, but it lacks the action-y feel. Perhaps some motion blur could be in place. The photo could've also been taken in a different angle, to make things more exciting.


I hope my reviews can help you a bit :)

Jahgee, you need to rate the shot above yours.


Very nice shot, the colours on the car feel vibrant and nice. The sense of speed is there, the composition is a tiny bit... boring. You might have needed a slightly lower angle, and have it pointing towards the front from a position more close to the front of the car. But in this specific shot, you can't do much better. Perhaps a bit less centered composition and have a higher EV by 0.1-2. Great shot overall. 7.9/10.

Could anyone perhaps rate mine?

 
Me making iC-1 as exciting as possible.

Nice but it's a bit too bland- a bit more colour, a nice background or more of an action style would have made it better. 7/10

Forgot to review yours, I give it a B+, other than the ungodly awful Yellow (to pastel for me) there is nothing separating it from other photos. Just average

This is a tricky photo for me. I like the way your eyes follow the lines far into the distance and I also like the color. The part that is messing with me is the car. It is interesting being so blurred and shows that is must be going very fast especially since the road is so straight, but also looks randomly placed. Everything else is so still and than this random blur in the corner. I think it might of been better without the car at all in the shot or focus on the car so it is still and it gets blurrier farther down in the picture. That would show the car and still an immense speed and distance. I'm going to rate it 7/10 because I do like the overall feel and think it has promise, but isn't quite there yet.

Great realism factor, but the aperture is a bit too strong; you should be able to see the road with the buildings blurred, unless you were putting emphasis on the fact that the subject was an Eclipse. 8.25/10


My picture; The subject is the car on right.


My imaginary chase scene between a possessed X2011 and a fool in a Bugatti Veyron going 300 Mph.
 
^^^^^

A nice sense of . The veyron looks like a premium. But because it is against a imaginary race car, I will knock marks off.

7/10
