A barnstar for you!

The Photographer's Barnstar

Thank you for contributing photos of cars that were only sold in Middle Eastern markets! For photos taken with a smartphone, they are quite nice and for sure way better than when I started. A quick tip is to crop your photos, it can really improve the photo sometimes. If you don't want to crop them, that's alright! I just wanted to say thank you for these contributions! Happy carspotting! CutlassCiera 16:57, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Another thing I will say is that I recommend make sure to keep the photos' coloring intact as it originally was, as that tends to be more helpful for Wikipedia pages. Thanks, Cutlass^Ciera 16:58, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments, I'll be sure to learn from my mistakes and improve upon them. Admittedly, some photos are from 4-6 years ago and they look terrible even by my low standards. ToyGTone (talk) 07:20, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
