Trial Celica

wow.. that car is done very, very nice. the pictures look great. the 3rd shot is a very nice shot and i like the aspect of it, downside to it is the shadows of those poles. anyway, nice photos!

Awesome shot - very nice composition and choice of location.

Very nice pictures, I really like the processing on photo 2. Unfortunately I find the shadows of the beams to be a bit distracting on the front end of the car(more noticeable in photo 3 than 2).

I agree, but it's still a stunning shot.

Very Nice Set.

Welcome to POTN.

I love #1 and #2! great shots!

(jaw-drops) Dam ....I need to get to work

What camera were you using to be able to crop that tight in #3 while still keeping that much detail, a 1ds?

I always wonder how people are able to take photos of cars in the middle of roads like this...where is everyone/the other cars. How did you park in the middle of a bridge?

awesome work, i always liked the celica

heh... I always find it funny when people pick the best most interesting part of a photo, and then call it a down-side.

That would be just a picture of a car, if it weren't for the interesting lighting and shadow-play afforded by that bridge.

It gives the picture depth and character, and really makes you imagine the flickering as the car zooms along.

The sunlight through the bridge supports is *vital* to these images, and it's the reason all the people above me have said "wow, I like it"... they just don't even realise it.

... anyhow, THAT's the way you do selective colouring. The reason people hate selective colouring so much is that you often see a picture of the bride, with a red rose in colour, but what's the subject? It's the freaking bride, not the newly-distracting rose.

Well done, these are really great.


Actually, they remind me a little of the old M3 wallpapers from circa 2002... except they're even better to me.

Excellent shots! The selective coloring really draws the persons attention to the Celica really well.

#2 is NICE! Awesome composition!
