Only had a quick look, but first impressions are cracking set - sharp, mostly well-composed, and great subjects Not a great fan of the selective colouring, but that's just my view on the genre, not your shots. Like the 'peekaboo' F355 shot

 

[Matt Sayle]

Great shots!! Love the F355 shot as it is my dream car. That ford GT looks like toy!

 

[GFWilliams]

Thanks guys
You don't think that they look too OTT do you?
The day was fun

Not at all. Looked like a great meet - was it one of The Breakfast Club days at the racing circuit?

 

[GFWilliams]

yeah - well worth going!

I don't think the 355 shot looks OTT at all but the blur on the GT shot is a bit thick for my taste.

Your Dad's car is the nicest thing that you've showed in this set but that alfa could perhaps run it close for style when it's had another couple of decades to settle a tad.

Why has the Porsche gots those orange wing-mirrors! are they standard would put me off getting one.

Only thing i dont like is the way you've added blur to the images. they look completely unnatural.

Really nice in general - as has been said above though I think maybe a bit much selective colouring! Not saying that I don't like the technique as I do it myself quite often, just that maybe it's been a bit overused (I often find myself doing a bit much of it and have to hold myself back ). Not too keen on the blurring either...

Aside from that though for the most part the compositions are quite nice. I especially like the headlight of the F430, the 8C (although that could be because I love my Alfas), and the F430/DB9 tails.

 

[GFWilliams]

I agree with the blurring comments, maybe I went a (lot) OTT, but all apart from the 355 photo I think it adds to the photos.

Nicky, you tell me to refrain from using selective colouring, but 2 of your favourite 3 use selective colouring... :shrug:

I think the selective colouring works really well. It attracts you to the subject not the annoying clutter around the subject.

Nicky, you tell me to refrain from using selective colouring, but 2 of your favourite 3 use selective colouring... :shrug:

I didn't say refrain altogether

It does suit some of them, including (but not limited to) the ones I mentioned - I just think using it in every shot would be a bit much is all. It's always good to have a nice variety of compositions and post processing effects
