Very nice work!

I think Pic 1 would've better served with the focus pointed on the 'R', like in the last pic.

Pic 3 is great - the detail of the surface imperfections on the paintwork and the minutely grotty GTR logo add to a feeling of the car being well-used and hard edged.

Pic 6 is by far my favourite. The composition is very interesting; the low and tilted angle forces the brain to engage a bit more with the picture compared to if it was horizontal. The gloves really set it off - I can't quite articulate why I like it, but I *really* do. That picture just oozes race track, grease, disdainful coolness and an "all in a day's work" sense for the people who spend their lives risking it all to gain that extra tenth of a second. Beautifully executed.

MG Shots don't do much for me - there doesn't seem to be a lot of drama in the pictures, or maybe it's just because the "MG" brand doesn't evoke anything for me.

All round great effort!

Big Wig,

Can you explain how you upload pics to this site, if you have a min to spare.

Cheers

Vipers - you can't upload pictures to this site. PH does not host pictures. You can only link to pictures hosted elsewhere.

The easiest thing you can do is to go to this URL:

www.tinypic.com

Click the browse button, browse for your pic and click "Upload". Once the upload is done, you will see a page with four fields at the bottom. Copy the link from the first field.

Then come to PH and reply/create a post. To embed a picture, type:

(SQBRACKETOPEN)pic(SQBRACKETCLOSE)the link you copied(SQBRACKETOPEN)/pic(SQBRACKETCLOSE)

Replace (SQBRACKETOPEN)with "[" and (SQBRACKETCLOSE) with "]" (I can't type it in there because if I do PH will interpret it as me trying to embed an image).

Then just submit the pic, and it will show.

By the way, a good tip is to resize your photos to 750 pixels wide before you upload, because if you don't PH will automatically resize it for you and make it look crap on-screen.

Many thanks for that, will have to try that later.

I like pic 6 also, something about the composition turns something fairly mundane into something much more interesting.

Vipers, sounds like your question has been answered.

Thanks for the comments, agree on the 'r' with the Civic image, should of focused on that, I love taking photo's of car badges for some reason!
