This is a Austin Seven Tourer, 1926 model.
The owner of this car is my dad, which he renewed from scratch, the car has probably never ran as good as he does now. The slang for this model is Kermit.

Mátt ekki heldur nota dodge og burn í basic ed... ekkert sem lagar einn stað en ekki annanna (nema fjarlægja dauð pixl)... mæli með að lesa yfir reglurnar því það er mjög óréttlátt fyrir okkur hin sem fylgjum reglunum að keppa við myndir sem notað hefur verið spot ed á. Bara svona upp á framtíðina að gera.
Já... svona er það, ég hafði bara ekki hugmynd um að þetta mætti ekki. Þeir vildu reyndar meina að þetta hefði eitthvað um regluna að það mætti ekki bæta við pixlum.... sem ég er ekki alveg að skylja, þar sem ég setti bara gradient á himininn. Nota bara dodge burn næst til að fá sama effect ;)
Well.. I got that cleared ;) They didn't DQ me because of filter using (they put a wrong message for the DQ).
The picture was DQ because I used a little gradient on the sky. Maybe that qualifies under "spot-edit your entry, except to remove sensor dust or hot pixels."
So... it's prohibited to sharpen the image? Cause that's the only "filter" I used (used high pass sharpening). hmmz...
Gísli, sorry about the dq. It is clear you missunderstood the rules.
I am not an expert but here my two cents to clarify your doubt:
When they say that the ONLY effect filters allowed in BE are Noise and Gassian Blur, they are explicitly forbidding any and all filters that you may find in PS under the "Others" tab, including High Pass. For the purpose of sharpenning under BE rules you have to use any sharpenning filter such as Sharp, USM or the ones that come embeded in the NR filters such as Neat Image, Ninja, Topaz, etc, etc. As said just my two cents, but you better trust SC only :-)
Hey, CONGRATULATIONS on your first ribbon! Don't think it will be your only one for long tho.
Were you being profetic seeing that it wouldn't be his only ribbon for long because you knew it would be DQed or because they have talent and will be getting more?
Hey, CONGRATULATIONS on your first ribbon! Don't think it will be your only one for long tho. This is really awesome! And not just because it reminds us of our beloved Kermit either :)
The composition throws me in this. what is the primary subject? the car is lost. The building is blocked. I'm confused. I'd like to see the car off to the side a bit, filling foreground, go monochrome with high contrast.
Too much sky that doesn't add to the image. Maybe a square framing would have made the image stronger. Composition wise, I think the car positioned to the right a little bit more would have been more pleasing (I think viewers generally have a better perception of a car coming into the frame rather than going out of the frame). IMO. Nice very old car though.
