And GatorAdam, I loooooooooooooovvvve your entry. I would just prefer to have a bit less grain.
I appreciate it! Yeah, I went back-and-forth for literally 15 minutes trying to decide if I wanted to go with the grain or not (and that was the lowest "grain option" that Pixlr gave me). I actually went over to my dresser, got a coin out, and flipped it to decide.
Side note: I'll also admit that my thumbnail for it does look even more jaggy for whatever reason, hence my "request" for people to make sure they click the full version.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I can't say yours would look better without the grain, I just felt like the tones and lighting may work better without the intrusion of the noise/grain. Anyway, I suggest you stick with that original picture. 👍
Also, Dolp, Beccho, Ceiling_Fan, awesome entries. 👍

Okay, here is my blantant rip-off slightly copied entry which is a tiny bit inspired by Moglet's "F1" PMC entry from quite a while back.

Goin' down the Hairpin.
Click for the full size.
And I was going to link to the 'real' full size, but I find that the Lightbox works better for vertical compositions.
But you could click here for the 'real' full size as well.

Very nicely done. Is that Monaco? That was the other location I was toying with for this competition.
Here's a look at some of the other shots I was considering if you'd like:

Yes, it is. You could go into the Hall of Fame thread and check out the PMC winners, and you'll see something similar to mine. I think Mog's win was somewhere around Week 35.
Anyway, you made the totally correct decision on what shot to use. Actually, the main thing that makes me like your entry is the car itself. The stock wheels on the '01 GTS are fantastic. And they look great with the chrome and all, but I think it would've looked even better with a little more camber to enhance the appearance of the wheel.
I "fell in love" (
) with the car during a shooting with it a Fuji for the Realism comp a way back. Anyway, I hope you make the poll, but I myself do feel that some more things could've during the editing, but that's mostly stuff available in more advanced image-processors.Mygodthatisfantastic
I was a bit hesitant to say it, with the fear of sounding rude. I really disliked your previous signature, I usually hate on all signatures. (I'm not a fan, as you may notice
) You've made a great improvement, it feels a lot more personal. The old had a somewhat boring font, and it almost detracted from the images. And what a shot.
Great colours, and good composition. I may have preferred a bit less contrast, but not that it really matters. You've been seriously improving, heck, they're better than what I could achieve after 45+ weeks on here.
👍

Feel free to offer any advice you might have, as I'm always open to constructive feedback on these sorts of things. Are there any (free) programs out there aside from Pixlr or Gimp that you would recommend taking for a spin for some image enhancing/sharpening?
And on that similar note, I initially ran the image through Pixlr's "Mimic HDR" filter and it looked even better, but I know true HDR is a no-no for this competition. Would that filter be acceptable for use in these 2.0 comps?
