Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I finally got the chance to photograph something old school!
This car is immaculate and 600HP is a nice touch as well! :shock:

Your technique is perfect. However I would clean up some of those white spots on the asphalt.

I agree with Cameron.

#1 is my favourite as it's got alot of detail and character. However I am impartial to the bridge growing out of the back though. I think the car itself is interesting enough. Perhaps a different color to the bridge to seperate it from the car?

Watch the headlights as well. One seems a little darker; Easily fixed though.

Hey Adam, do you have a boom - LED light - softbox to light the car at the top?
Do you have a gridded softbox?
Do you ever try with the headlights on?

I'll give something like that a try.
For the most part all the shots I do like this are untouched.
I should experience more in post.

I don't use a boom. I'm a little over 6' so I've been able to just reach over the top of the cars.

My softbox is just a single diffused box. I've seen grids, but I'm unsure of exactly what they do.

I've tried a few with the head lights on. The light tends to be pretty overwhelming.

Fair enough. I do know that it's pretty hard to get even exposure unless you are very methodical in your painting route.
