Bugatti @ LA Car Show

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

AWESOME car

that was on a episode of BBC's car show Top Gear late last month.

They were saying that at the 253mph (400 odd kmh) limit, the 100 litre fuel tank would only last 12 minutes.

But you get that when you stick 2 V8s next to each other and then add 4 turbo chargers.
you get what you get, always learn from the mistakes

Nice shots of an interesting car.

If I were you, I would be showing the following images instead:
Bugatti12.jpg - Your crop doesn't have to be this tight. You need a bit more space on the top and the bottom, and if you don't like the colours, feather them and darken them a bit.
Bugatti8.jpg - This one works quite well, even if it isn't supremely straight.
Bugatti7.jpg - You need to control the saturation of the blue in this one.
Bugatti11.jpg - This is a really good shot... you just need to pull the flash down just a bit to normalise the overblown white spots.
Bugatti3.jpg - Another good shot... it's always good to show a car from behind, and the colour in this one works well.

Nice work! :D
