Further explanation of the theme, which is provided by Gtuned:
For his first 2.0 theme, an H2H one no less, Gtuned is focusing on two filters within GT5
for inspiration: the Selective Colour and Monochrome filters. As this is 2.0, which allows
members to essentially mimic these filters outside of the game, Gtuned has mentioned
that Selective Colour isn't specifically limited as it is in GT5 - you may focus on, say,
one specific colour while monochroming the rest of the image. Also, B/W images can be
regular palette images converted to B/W in a post-game program. Any questions, ask!
CARS: Any
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTO TRAVEL: Yes
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: See above
- It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
- Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
- Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
it makes poll creation much easier!
- No full-size images posted in thread; your entry will be ignored.
[*]One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
[*]Do not ask other users to pick your entry.
[*]Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
[*]You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
[*]When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
[*]Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
[*]A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
[*]Do not post additional "also-rans" - just your entry will do!
[*]Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 20. Every fourth
week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", and the best from each
poll faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
[*]Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
