For a speed shot it's a good 'un; but the OOF wide line across the top really draws my eye (I take it that's a different level of surface?)
Sound - I wonder how many failed the noise testing. Good take on the subject and 2 nice cars there.
Rab Alphabet as said its a yes on theme but no to the layout as you said it was rushed been there done that far to many times to mention myself
However great idea on sound really like the first one yes its tight but sometimes its just unfortunate if you were setting the shot yourself you could clear the shot of clutter but i dont happen with grabbed shots like that.
The edit of experiment works very well, nice sepia pp which works well with the subjects.
Second edit makes a big improvement - I like it - and well done on experimenting with different techniques
Hi Rab
that's a cracking sepia conversion, really bright but not blown white bits, loads of different tones and the straighten finishes it off ...great work mister
Experiment....Love the conversion, and correcting the verticals has made a HUGE difference. Very nice.
A strong image with depth.
A pity the straighten meant losing a chunk off the bottom.
Hi Rab, It's an ok shot the only thing would be just too much empty space on the left and right. A tighter crop and level the bg would help.
Not a fail at all Rab. I remember my first reflection shot with candles and it was not as good as this so don't put yourself down,let us do it if necessary
I really like the sepia conversion of the crowd shot too (n)
