I'm not very good at this but i really like the first one-reminds me of some of the night scenes in LeMans 24 hrs, where you just see the cars racing down a narrow little road with the lights lighting up a little bit ahead of them, rushing through the darkness. Something around 9.5-10 for rating :D

Here is my own!

7.5/10 Looks very artistic but that same frame could be more explored.

I'd say it gives a great sense of speed in the picture. The lighting brings the detail out of the car really well, however the background doesn't fair too well with the lighting. Overall though, I'd say it's a great photo! 8.5 - 9 out of 10. :)

Not sure which one to have rated, so I'll put them both up. >_>

Alright! Here i go! i want Overall Feedback for those pictures Please! be as hard as you guys can be xD







 
The first picture is rather rough, imo. The yellowhat is a lot brighter then the other two, which consistently draws your eye back to the car on the left and makes it weird to look at the other two cars-also, the partial color filter i dislike in general, just looks kind of weird. 6.5/10

Second picture is better, but the car in back is kind of buried behind the gt-r. The lighting makes both the cars look rather dull, and there's the weird dual-rectangle thing in the top left. 7.5/10

Third picture is odd. The driver is facing away from the camera, and the car as well. It makes sense logically as it seems like the driver is leaving his car, it just doesn't make for a very pretty picture (although it's nice that the train is there). 7-7.5/10

Fourth is really nice. The s2000 is nicely lit, shows off a nicely aggressive pose and the fireworks/trees in the background nicely complement the car itself. I also like how the s2000 is centered with the only other bright object the firework and what appears to be the setting sun, with the photo bordered by stars and the unlit area of the road.

so its like worst to best? :P

and you know in the 3rd picture the driver is actually talking to the lady there xD
 
^^The reflections on the car are great, but overall, it is much too dark, so it loses some detail. It is most likely from the blue lights. The positioning is superb, though.
6/10

Criticize everything.
I'm here to learn.

Thank You for your criticisms. My turn :D

#1 Is very well positioned, but it is a bit too bright, which makes it less interesting. 7/10
#2. Basially the same, except there's a bit more going. Which makes it slightly more 'attractive'. 7.25(:p)/10
#3. Sorry, but this isn't something that I like, there's just not enough action or anything interesting. That's MY criticism. 3.5/10

i did read the OP, maybe i missed that part.
so i had to rate your pictures befor posting mine huh?
 
Yeah, everyone who posts their picture must rate the one above theirs. >_>

ok i am sry, missed that one :/ i can rate them now.
even if im not so good at rating but ill give it a try,

1st one i like the most! the car is nicely in focus, some cool drift action :) tho somehow i think its weird how that building is in the back, anyway i give it a 9/10 :)

2nd has a nice sense of speed, you can see good the details on the car.
personaly i dont like that reflecton on the car, dont like the blue.. but yeah thats my personal opinion :) i give it a 8.5/10
 
^ 7/10
What I like: Panning Mode 1, Great sense of speed, a true battle.
What I didn't like: Yellow is blown out, not quite enough focus
Overall, its a really fun shot!

^^I really like this, RetroGiant, especially that sky, but maybe I'd like to see a bit more of the front of the car - 8.5/10

 
i like the composition, but the lack of colour, and action makes it very flat. a slower shutter speed, or if the car was a little sideways would be better. i can see the car working hard (rolling), but it doesn't make me say wow.

to keep in theme with the F40

i would've really liked for the F40 and ferrari badges to have been clearer, but this is what i got.

i personally like the last best...
 
For the last one wich is the one o like the most i give you 7.5/10:tup:

I like it, but the car seems to be warm, whereas the tunnel is sort of cold. in my mind this clashes. However, the composition is terrific, as is the sensation of speed. 8/10
here are a few of mine:

^It's very well done. The sensation of speed is there, as is the detail. I do wish that the car were more centered vertically, but other than that it's terrific. 8.5/10

Nice car, I like the m5. 7/10 for the pic I like where the car and camera are placed. I didn't want to post my M5 but since you done it, here's mine :D.

And here is my GTO

^I like that M5, 7.5/10. As for the GTO, too blurry. Way too blurry. No rating from me.

And for the RUF above, I like that one too. You caught some speed and a lot of gloominess. Maybe a few EV's down would've made it better IMO. But then again, I'm no pro :ouch:

For this one, try to ignore the watermark.

Thanks for those rating(s) :).

I like that Ford GT :) 7/10 I love the rims lol. Even though I personally don't really like American muscle cars this ford GT is pretty damn cool. But I do got a Camaro SS in my garage though lol.

In my opinion, your color choice is, well, questionable. I like the angle, but the fact that the background has more detail than the foreground makes my brain confused. I give it a 6/10.

 
I like this a lot :drool:. I can't explain it...speed is there...colors there too I guess...the sun. 8.5/10

Now another of mine.

I'm almost embarrassed to post this after that :indiff:

I'm not sure what the picture is focused on... :confused: Furthermore, a more interesting angle can make it a LOT better.

6/10

Someone can take my turn.
 
It's a good angle and good sense of speed, but the use of the miniature filter kind of weighs it down a little bit. The road is blurry at the bottom, where it should be crisp to show the sense of speed. And it makes the smoke look much to bright. And perhaps if you lower the camera a smidge it could help.
7/10
