Cars and Transport Competition 1 2016 : Entry Number 149

Huge congratulations on being this months winner I have chosen this image, and it was not easy as we had lots of great entries for this competition, because of its creative and technical strengths. I love the symmetry and also the attention to detail in crafting this final image. The lighting is excellent and post edit work is perfect. Great image and a well deserved win Well done !

Tim, thank you very much for your words and feedback. I really appreciate it, I’ve been following your work for many years now and I was always stunned at the shapes and angles you achieved in your photos. Now, regarding this photo, I won’t lie, it was hard work. Is the result of two years of trail and errors, learning, and always pushing myself to be better. Is my second time for me in this contest. First time was about two years ago when I entered with some car snapshots I did, and thought at that time they were really good. Not winning, was a cold shower. This 918 was shot at the dealer’s showroom, in London. I made use of some curtains to block out the window light and use my strobe on the car. I end up with around 20 images that made this final composition. Shot with a Sony A7 and a lot of layers in Photoshop. In the end, I can only say that passion and hard work always pays off. Chris Balo
