SuperVeloce, 7/10, good photo but I think you should have kept the indicator in focus also. And maybe zoomed out ever so slightly so the whole mirror was in shot, instead of that little bit being cut off.

The car is good in the shot. But the picture has just to much speed. Maybe because the car doesn't look that fast... Sorry for my bad english :(

You guys like this one ?

It's a shame about the people in the background. I know theres nothing that can be done but i think they ruin the shot.

I'm gonna post mine again as they got buried previously.

The picture of the Aston could use more wheel blur so you could feel it moving. Looks too much like it's stopped and there was a smoke machine behind the car. Lols

6/10 the angle is good, but the car is poorly lit and the wheels are lost in darkness. Its hard to shoot a photo when you want 2 things in view and one is in shadow. Getting closer and going for a wider angle and increasing the exposure compensation to let light the car a bit more.
 
9.5/10
I absolutely love the whole picture. I can get a glimpse of your orangey wheels too, hehe.

Only flaw is the car is abit dark and some parts of the car are hidden. But you couldn't really do anything about it I guess.

Here's two that I just took

P.S - First one slight photoshopped, 2nd straight from GT5.

8/10. Very good pics. I just feel they need more interesting backgrounds.

Same set from before, but less over the top, I hope:

I'll throw a couple of mine in for your critique on the overall image if you will. I'm just really getting a grasp of what is attainable in photomode so any help would be appreciated.

Also @ Dravonic. I love that last shot of the Mp4. Id give it 9/10. The Lighting for me is key to it.

#1: While I can appreciate the idea behind the shot, I don't feel as if it was executed properly in order to fully express the situation of the car. Personally, I would have used a different choice in filter to help neutralize some of the warmer tones and blown out spots, however, the idea and concept behind the photo is a good one with lots of energy. Another small thing I would have considered for the shot is the framing. This can be very key as some instances you want to focus on a more specific part of the car or have a broader angle to show where the car is, where it's going, etc. With this shot, I can understand the focus of the wheel, more specifically the brake, but with the situation, I would have liked to have seen a wider crop of the photo. Overall, not bad, 6.5/10

#2: A much better use of a wider crop. I like the framing of the car and how the natural warm tones of the photo legitimize it in a way to make it seem more "real." A tighter crop of the car may be in order as an alternative shot, but with this, it's all up to preference. It can definitely stand on it's own as is. 8/10

I'll just leave one here. Went a bit artsy with it.

I absolutely love this shot and give it 10/10. Was this straight from the game or is there post editing involved as i can never get monochrome pictures to look that good.?

Straight from the game :)
 
9/10 It really captures the feeling of the late evening. Unfortunately, the same thing that I like is the same thing I don't like, it's a little too dark.

THanks for your opinion mate.

First one 7/10 I like the idea alot but the photo got let down by the games poor quality smoke.

Second 8.3/10 Alot of action in this shot and no Marks of the Smoke jaggy but a little bit of Zooming out and Change the angle abit. 👍
 
Keshian, Love the Citroen, the reflections work really well

Nice idea but it aint come out quite right. Anyone got any suggestions to improve it?
 
Guys, please remember that if you want your photos rated, you must rate the ones before yours.
 
ok ill rate the one before me, looks good, i would say 8/10 not exactly sure what the focus is on the car. could be better if you could get the gtr lighted a little better.
