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.

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.

I'd like some comments on this PPed/modified photo.

I was PPing away like a madman and ended up with something I liked.

What do you think?

I wonder what sort of enviro friendly fuel the one on the left is using - that one on the right must be sponsored by the Amazonian woodchipping industry...

I think it is more aobut the right one is setting a richer mixture in the fuel than the one on the left (back) to get a few extra power on the engines... :roll:

Well worth the effort,

Thanks for the comments. :)

I thought someone would have asked what PP was done. :o

Well here it is anyway.

- Adjusted curves + shadow/highlight tool to bring out detal in exhaust smoke

- Added a bit more space on the left side of the frame

- Added slight sepia tone using photo filters

- Tried various ways to get a bit of vignetting happening. I ended up using photoshop's lighting tool to add a light in the centre of the frame. Yes, thats a fake sun in the photo. :lol:

Sorry to be a nerd, but running an engine rich actually produces less power.

Nice photo. I don't think the PP takes anything away from the image

true with regular fuel, but if its avgas or a similar aviation fuel with high nitromethane content then richer mixtures can produce more power.
you also get more power with nitromethane if you put more load on the motor.
of course they cant run rich all the time cause they would probably need twice the size of fuel tank or fall out of the sky before they reach the destination.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"
