one of my picks for best of the challenge - 77 is far too low -
what can we do to help the DPC crowd get over their aversion to beautiful, artistic grain?
the processing here is terrific too, great work. Go find a way to make money with this (shouldn't be that hard) and you'll feel TONS better about your 77 - I will too!
I really enjoy this classic feel to this image. I think the pp style works very well. Just slight distraction in the lower right corner.. Very well done.
this really has an archive quality that makes it look 1940's...excellent action and grain like Ilford film...the rain looks amazing...spectacular...has to be 10
fantastic B&W!!! the only thing I can think of to improve this would be to clone out the bottom right triangle and go with the grainy road instead:-) great non the less!!!
Except for the helmets, your photo seems to come from another time in an earlier era. The building behind fixes this race in the world. The splatter adds the dynamic element needed. Lovely work.
Very. very cool shot & pp. The only thing that gives away that it is shot recently are the rollbars. The rains adds a nice extra dimension to it. Cool!
I like the grain in this photo for it adds to a nostalgic feel. The slightly sepia tones also help to add to the nostalgic feel of days gone by with some good ol' fashioned racing derbys. Overall a good action shot. My only critique, small one at that, is that their seems to be a tad too much dark space/negative space seen at the top of the photo.
brilliant post processing! the drawing effect of the background, which really feels like rain, is deeply impressive and is an excellent example of the tasteful and enhancing use of filters. the mono / duotone is also effective with the high contrast. it's a brilliantly composed action shot as well, conveying both the sense of speed and the excitement of the chase / race.
I like your image a lot, but I feel like the top border could have been cropped closer (top 3rd or so) so as to squeeze in tighter on the action and emphasize the lateral movement being captured. Other than that, very good shot.
