If you make a browser screen please cut the actual browser out and only show the page, like in the first post (y) we need to compare them in a voting sheet. I don't want distraction in there 8-|

like this, it's not 1920x1080 though. what res do you have?

The image including the browser borders is 1920x1080 ;)

I just pasted the MT screenshot onto the mx screenshot and cut a little to make it fit; so I lost some pixels, but the original screenshot from the MT editor is 1920x1080.

It was just a test to see if the direction is OK :)

Something minor, but I think it's worth mentioning:

You cannot not read

The following is meant in general, but erik's picture is a good example.
I really like the picture erik posted (it could have some more depth, but that's not the point).
The word "Checkpoint" is clearly visible in the picture. So when you are looking at the page, your attention will be constantly drawn away from the content, because your "brain" reads the sign (probably over and over again).
At least it's on the right side. The left side would be worse, because you start reading/looking from the left.
I'm not asking to reject the picture, just saying it's not the optimum.
Maybe you keep this in mind when doing other screens...

Well said,I think it's also a bit slow. Maybe locking the camera to the car is a solution. That way there's motion in it and "checkpoint" becomes unreadable due to a longer shutter

What a genius Hans :d
Text is really not optimal, unless it is a ton of text and thus unreadable aka art.
I agree :done:

I hope you like this one :) The text on the checkpoint is blurred, and it's in the middle (where it won't be seen) so I hope it's not a problem :$ Anyway, here it is:

I just tested it on the site: I will re-shoot it so that you can see the car on the site :$

Another try with a different angle:

I think this one fits a lot better on the site, but I'd like to hear what you guys think too :)
What it looks like on the site:

the left side looks really good, but the right side lacks a few details in my opinion ;)
maybe a slight blur or a bit depth of field will look good too?

I think a shutter lenght of 0.05+ would look good on this. It's a background and doesn't need to draw much attention to it. A good background fits but remains unnoticed, or at least isn't something you notice immediately (y) like bass in a song

If you make screens keep in mind that there has to be a balance on both sides, like haenry said already. Dark-bright and how many things (trees/streets etc) there is, are the biggest factors If you ask me ;)
