What's the boom with these stupid exaggerated post-processing/blur effects? It doesn't look good. Instead it looks unrealistic and actually like a some console game. And I'm not merely talking about these edited screenshots, it seems to be such an easy way to make (mostly console) games look "good".
When I do editted pics i don't use effects I create all of the effects and lighting myself using my own photoshop skills.

i spent about an hour on this. Just wanted to try and reflect the madness that is Live For Speed at night on the first corner
The photo effect is suppose to be from behind a gate/fence but I'm not sure whether that turned out like I wanted it to but oh well lol.
as i said - its a bad pic for any edit. but anytime i have to make some pic from lfs into some article, i always edit it somehow like this, because its quick and easy way to make it look more interesting, than original pic. (from my point of view)
