New shots FXT......looking for critiques

joscolem · 03-09-2008, 08:41 PM

I went out and snapped a few shots........some good some bad.

Thanks for letting me bore you once again. Comments and critiques are always welcome, good or bad.

your photography is getting much better in terms of composition and such. I like to have the car stand out but that's my personal opinion. Try the Shadows/Highlight tool and drag the highlights slider all the way to about 80% and leave the shadows at 0%. Then do a little Highlights burning around the ground (especially the white patch in front) then give the entire shot, excluding the car, a nice Midtones burning and I think you'll like the difference.

This is for the first photo BTW.

Not to mooch off your experience, but do you mind hi-jacking one of the photo's and retouching it. I'm not the best with the burn tool.

Thanks for the words of encouragement as well.

Amazing job.........thanks, now I can adjust accordingly with something to compare with.

Here's my attempt.

no problem...but the ground in your edit looks 10x the one in mine. I just don't have the time to mess with it right now...but it looks like you have an idea!

I love it! Id like to have one of these in my future garage for a DD!

Very nice clean pics, Your angling I guess you can call it makes the stance of the car look much more aggressive. Your car is sex.
