A Bugatti Type 51, any professional would be able to tell you that.

I know, but I was waiting for THE professional to tell me that....

yes, and the colours look so normal too..

Given that it's a long exposure at night, they look fairly natural, actually. And who cares if they're "normal"?

i am with you, it's a "photo competition" not a "photochopped pix competition".

i know it a story old as much as the world...i just had to say my opinion.
everyone can post whatever pics, i just don't like when the colours are unnatural, the contrast too high etc...

This post makes me angry for a number of reasons, but this isn't the place for it so that's all I'm saying.

Absurd? If you're talking about the Audi R8, the colours hardly look unnatural at all. Don't you realize that depending on the lighting in the scene, colours look different during day shots versus night shots?

Having photographed that area before, I'd say RM's shot is minimally edited.

Don't worry, apparently unless a shot isn't altered in the slightest from the original exposure it's a gaudy, ill-conceived attempt. Never mind the fact that without some post-processing, most shots' colours and contrast look far different than the scene in real life.

I was not talking about the R8 and I was being very positive about RM's shot...just because it looking rather unedited and therefore natural.
