I'd recommend increasing the contrast, otherwise it has interesting composition. 7/10.

Here's one of mine

Here's one of mine

nice one
really liked the focus setup but you could have given more bright to it although you could have done an awesome HDR in this photo, try it

mines:

I spent like half an hour editing that last one and I didnt get what I wanted :/

Thanks for the feedback. I was contemplating increasing the contrast, but the front end of the Elan just washes out too quickly.
And it is a very subtle use of HDR.

I love your First picture, great sense of competition. I give it a 9.5/10
Improvements: I don't know if its just me, but the gradient of the F430 hood is choppy

The second picture: That much HDR is not my cup of tea, but it is still impressive 8/10

The third picture: It's either missing something (more contrast), or there is no clear focal point. My eyes keep switching between the tail light and R8 banner. But I suppose that could be the effect you are after. I give it a 7/10

 

[StogyBear]

Thanks to SuperVeloce for the 9/10

Also thanks to Epic-Name & rev91 for the comments

Going to do a double rate:
Rev91, I would go for a solid 8/10 for the first shot, I really like that
7/10 for the second as I feel the red is too rich against the darkness that surrounds it, none the less a great pic

GregTheStig nice pic for a standard car gonna go for a solid 7/10 as well.

Another picture from my gallery:

oh wow if you took an HDR of this and lowered the exposure of the sky it would be beautiful.

9.5/10

Oh come on! -.- What about my pictures? -.-

That first pic is lovely, the shine of the lights off of the car, even in black and white looks class.

3rd pic is weird. The angle of the right rear tyre is mad, looks like there is a ton of pressure going through it.

Wow!! Really, really nice. The 458 pic has been edited with HDR, right?

 

[DerNürmister]

Try to add a bit more of the car..

Imo the pictures a bit too dark, it needs to be brighter to show a bit more detail.


Heres a few of mine I'd like critiqued.

 

[RegalFunk]

Tasteful use of partial colour? Yes please, 9/10. Love the minimalism in this, and (like everything) while it won't be to everyone's taste, the lack of a background just works. The only things that let it down for me is that the Citroen seems slightly out of focus, or possibly using a longer focal length to give the car more presence in the shot. Keep it up!

Anyway, time for some monochrome, just a general critique please

I really like how the merc just seems to be so damn reflective 8.5/10

Also check my shot on the last page B3rni3 . I have a bit of partial colour inn one of the shots 👍

Not a bad photo, I give it a 6/10.


Toscana (Tarmac)_1 RX7 by illestWRX, on Flickr

 

[stpatty]

The RX7 is a beautiful car, hard to take a bad picture of it. I like that the road ahead's mostly all in the picture, although I reckon there's something you could do with the positioning of the car. Maybe take the photo closer to it or try to get some more light on it, it doesn't seem as important in the whole shot. And there's no real feeling of movement, maybe a longer shutter speed to blur it slightly?

If you want a rating, 7.5/10

Anything on this one would be appreciated:

 

[dandroid13]

Anything on this one would be appreciated:

as a fan of rally cars, if the focus was just a little better, it would be amazing. but that's a great photo, 8/10

some more

 

[Benmastaw00t]

1) Not a good photo, but not that bad. I assume the focal point is the X2010 because the camera is panning it. That said, composition is unpleasing, as it is too far down on the picture plane. Perhaps if you either composed the shot from that angle a bit farther and zoomed in on the car more, it would be a bit more pleasing, and details like the mountains would be distracting.

4/10

2) This photo suffers from the same problems as the first, but with the subject even less emphasized. When I first began photography (note: real life photography), I was told a few rules,

a) Simple subject

b) Fill the frame

c) No distracting background

d) Experiment from all angles

On your next shoot try taking these rules into effect, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

3/10

Now for my photos.

Im not a photographer by any means so this is just a personal opinion.

I like the 2nd last photo, gives a good sense of speed and detail. How did you achieve this if you dont mind me asking.


as for the last photo, maybe if you shot the photo with the car coming from the light but still shot from the rear if you get me. So the light still shines into the photo but it eluminates the back more, that way you can see the citroen logo better and better emphisize it. I could be all wrong here, it's just a thought.

 

[Rader]

Hi guys, trying to get some feedback from my pics, I posted some Ferraris in the Ferrari thread and would like to know where I could improve:

Enjoy!​

And now the picture that I think is the most beautiful of the set. I like to think of it as a speed trap photo I would put in my wall, just like a painting.

 

[TriniSpec]

What do you guys think?

 

[Evolvedsoul]

@Rader: Firstly, good job on all those photos! My critique would be try not to place the car so close to the edge of the photo. Also, if you're going to take close up shots, try to find interesting things on the car you wouldn't normally notice at first glance. The F40 "speed trap" shot is probably the best of the group. My overall rating for all those pics would be 6.5/10 Try to limit future posts to 5 photos (and smaller size please!)

@TriniSpec: Although the Z4 is placed relatively well, I think it would be better if it was closer to the center.. like a centimeter to the right and up? The meh rendition of the sky is quite distracting as well. Id give it an overall of 7/10

Would like an overall critique of this please!

Would like an overall critique of this please!

But you did a good job there! Feels like an excellent wallpaper

8.5/10 👍
