Ramsey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Can you soften the background? It needs something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmwohio Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I'm stuck between these two at this point. http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae245/bmwohio/2014%20Solo%20Nationals%20pics/kale-8cutoutcopy-3_zps76b59cb1.jpg http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae245/bmwohio/kale-8cutout-crop_zps854abed2.jpg I may have both printed and hang them to see how they look. The hard part has been finding a frame in that size WITH the correct matting to match. I know Hobby Lobby will cut custom mat....I may go that route. Thanks again, for everyone's feedback.

bmwohio Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Ok....LAST option, I promise.....this adds the cone back into color, to give it a little more width and action.....thoughts? http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae245/bmwohio/2014%20Solo%20Nationals%20pics/kale-8b_zps7a1dc5ac.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmwohio Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I feel like this picture is the best description of how you feel when you are out there....just you and the cones, and everything else is blocked out of your mind....

zeitgeist57 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Love it. The colored cones, definitely. I agree 100%; focus on the car attacking the corner. Almost pulls the cones out from the picture, giving it a 3-D aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also something you don't see made into a poster very often. Get a custom frame done for it and call it a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Only way to improve it is to put my abs somewhere in there - but then no one will know there's a BMW in the picture. I voted #3, which is what 9 other incredibly intelligent and handsome people picked as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 just my worthless wooden 2 pennies: you want to crop the dead space out of the photos. The sky for one, but also that hundred feet of just dead space in front of the car. I get that you want to put the cone in the pic frame but why? because it shows racing? I think the background blur and the race stickers do that enough. If you insist on it being in there try to photoshop it closer to the car then but I don't really think it adds to the narrative of the photo and just serves as a bright orange distraction. The car at speed is what you want, focus on that. As a personal pet peeve, I think artificial black and white looks awful. If you want black and white photos shoot black and white film, otherwise it ends up looking too flat because the filter tends to compress details and depth out of the image. Maybe it is good for the background stuff like you have above since you don't want too much distracting detail in the background but...eh... I think the whole pic just looks more alive in color.

Reducing them to grayscale reduces the distraction, and yeah... the car and the cones is what this pic is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
