That bad huh ?

They all are looking good man, nice work. I would brighten up 06 though and give it some more contrast so it pops.

those look amazing, the colors and no shadows that caught my eyes..

was this race a round the loop type race or was it a track race with at least 8 turns, both right and left hand turns?

that ford mustang photo is a prize, you should send it to ford, the front focused sharply and the mustang in motion, nice !!

thanks, well, for photo 06 I actually darkened it lol except for the cars, I found that they didn't pop enough (contrast was upped already), here is one where I didn't darken:

And yes these were shot at Miami Homestead raceway during a Grand Am race, so both left and right turns, I think it's an 11 turn track ?
I've had about 8 people so far that told me to submit the pic to Ford lol, I just don't know how :p

water mark that ford shot first, then look up the racing departement of ford.. i guess that is where i would start.great shot on that ford photo..phamster

Ok after seeing the original I like the darkened one, but I would take the dark on and make the concrete like 50% brighter as well as the sky...the sky looks like a bright sunny blue day but the fact that it's dark makes it seem under exposed. To me anyway haha

Good quality images and the website looks good.
