OUCH

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

John, great images. I love the casual attitude of the marshall in the first one.

Love the smoke you caught from the locked wheels on the Alfa. Great image but I assume the owner didn't buy an A3 for his office wall? Maybe his mates will to rib him or for their magazine, it is a great action photo.

Great series of images, and in the case of the Alfa, the two shots show the extent of the energy expended in this incident. Have a look at how far the concrete bollard has been moved by the impact.

The car itself seems to be a fake in some respects: I don't believe that the GTA nomenclature was ever used on that body by the factory. GT, GTV, and GTV6 were all kosher, but I don;t think that GTA was used on a 116.

Maybe a marketing exercise? GTA's were originally a factory designator for higher performance GTs, having even further upgraded suspension, even better breathing and tuning, and a lightened body.

Garry, i dont know much about these cars but in the book it says it is a 1976 GTA.

These are just a couple as i seen it sliding and well rattled of a heap of shots of it hitting, same as with the Datsun.
Here is a shot away from the wall.

Chris, it was held here at Mount Gambier and near The Blue Lake here and used the road from the bottom of the Valley Lakes towards the top.
You can see more of the shots here at my site.
