Rate The Photo Above You

@tyre 4/10 the picture is weird looking, it has to much exposure and to little contrast, or just to much brightness

try reducing your brightness and maybe adding just a dab of sepia for realism

Amazing shot, Texas!
Probably the best one I've seen by you!
I love everything about it so you've earned the 10/10!

10/10, amazing shot, best looking car I've ever seen!

tbh....i would have said 4 to 5...i saw the same things u did...i posted it for verification...lols

@ TRK, this pic reminds me time actually spent in colorado..some of the most amazing sunrise/sunsets ive ever witnessed
8/10 a car in the shot wouldve bumped that rating up!!

last one ill post of the e30...i am fairly new at this forzatography and this seems to be the only place i have gotten any feedback and c.c....so thanks for the feedback

The idea and setting of the photograph is really nice, you can see where the car is headed and the background gives a nice feel. However, the background is sharper than the car is which draws attention away from the car. The colours and exposure are also a little bit low.

All in all:
More aperture, exposure (lighting) and colour could really up this piece.
Also, try to use flickr next time, that keeps the crispyness of the picture ;]
7,6/10

yeah, i dont know how or what to do with aperture..dont use it tbh, i will play with it

9/10...she's a bute

all pics i have posted are recently taken, but before any feedback..heres 1 more, then i will start applying some of the feedback into new shots...thanks again for the c.c.

@tyreslayer425: Good shot, just seems like a generic drift shot to me though...Not a big fan. The colors and lighting look good though. 6-10.

i know what ur saying on the shot itself...my main concern is getting the settings right...thanks for the feedback..

Yeah i give you props for the color settings. They look really good.

Use Flickr or else...

7/10
A closer shot would look killer, but overall the car looks nice as well as the background.

10er!!!

7/10 ur settings have improved greatly, but the shot is a little plain

try and remember the thirds rule, your picture shud have three different sections and the it also helps to have the main subject of the photo off center

this pic is not an example of those strategies

And that's why I'm not going to rate it. haha.

10 for the win!!!!! Killer shot!!!!

Making the rule of thirds an obligatory thing is bogus.
There are a lot of great photographs that use a centered focus.
By studying all these things we came to like the rule of thirds lay out, that doesn't mean we HAVE to use it ;]

I for one sometime choose to deliberately ignore the rule to come up with a more interesting piece (mostly in abstract art or drawings, sometimes photographs).

yes but for still life and photography, when starting out it is best to use the rule of thirds as a basis.

It's really only good thing to use for starting out

once you figure out how to get both your background and subject in the piece with comprising each other, then you can begin to extend your boundaries and work out of what is common

@ Kru 8/10 standard drift pic but i love me some classic mercedes

I hear ya, Texas. I agree that the rule of thirds is a great way to learn about framing.

I love the dirty feel that picture gives, it looks really nice.
The car really compliments the airport kind of feel. 8/10

9-10 the pic looks really good at first glance but when you really look at it the left hand side really conveys a sense of speed which is subtle but brilliant

the problem i have with mine are the settings on my tv are optimized for movies etc.. and the pictures i take are a mile away from how they look on the pc lol

I really like that, Mosu!
Looks like a track day event photograph, really cool :]
9/10, could use more contrast for my liking although I'm not sure.

looks better in the tv... is now my default excuse lol
with the 240sx pics where the car looks like a solid block thats on purpose as the car's true matt black (black vinyls over black paint) and thats how the car is in game, i call it project blackout as its extremely menacing in game lol

10-10
thats such a good pic of a really clean 86 i would happily have that on my bedroom wall when i was in my teens! (i have alot of cars with 'strong' graffix and paintwork but honestly prefer a good plain paintjob but unfortunately they dont stand out in forza when anyone can have the same paint for $600)

PHOTO28 by MosukeKodoSan, on Flickr
see lol

The background looks a little faded, and i dont like how dark the car is and how its really hard to see it. 5-10.
