Good theme we have here, we have not seen enough this car IMO. But that will change now. Get shooting! :)
 
Excellent I love this car! Route 246 not so much but it's all good. :) 👍
 
This is why I chose it, one of the most photogenic cars in the game, for me...well given the right angle anyways.
Took a bunch of shots myself to choose the car and location, just a shame I can't enter myself!
Best of luck everyone!

edit: might just make myself a gallery just to post the shots I took, I do like them haha! Just gotta work out how!
 
Wanting to enter one of these competitions for the first time but I don't think I can compete with the photoshop crowd seeing as I don't own the program or know how to use it. I guess I might give it a shot (no pun intended) but I doubt it. Will have to wait for the Photomode only competition to roll around again.
 
Final Entry

Tokyo R246 by memesmotorsport, on Flickr

Theme: Early morning in Japan at an intersection deciding which way to go for a Sunday drive...

Please follow the links to see the picture in a larger size.

Not expecting much but oh well, worth a shot.​
 
^ I really like it, it's really good at full size though the vignette may be a little too dark around the car.
 
@TDK: Really nice entry, but possibly a not as thick border?

Unfortunately I can't change that. It's from the "warm" filter in photomode. :(

I'll change it if I decide to keep this entry rather then switching to my other. Thanks! 👍
 
I can see how this is not going to be easy for me haha! I entered one of the pics I took in prep to choose the theme into the 2.0 comp if anyone wanted to see ;).
Just here.
