80Y's Sneeky Calendar Poll

[Boffin]

Righto guys, here's how it is.

The spoked Jaguar wheel is a shot I took recently (or rather, recently had the chance to fettle with) and I really really like it, so I'm wondering if I should put it in the GTP Calendar instead of the Ferrari shot. I didn't get the chance to play with it before we had to submit the other shots.
The Porsche shot came 2nd (to the Ferrari shot 11:7 votes) but a lot of people have expressed that they like the Porshe shot, so maybe a revote on that is also in order.

I'm making this a quick poll, as a thread is currently running which need me to submit one or the other, and I wasn't going to just submit the Jag shot without you guys giving it a seal of approval first hence the poll.

Sudden death - whichever one of these goes in. If its a tie, I decide. Simple.

I still prefer the Porsche shot, the wheel is nice and IMO better than the Ferrari shot. But it there is just something about the Porsche shot which draws me in.

Ditto. I'm still going for the Porsche shot, but I'd rather the Ferrari or Porsche than the wheel. Don't get me wrong, the wheel is a stunning shot, but I'm enforcing my concern that there will be too many "detail" shots in the calendar, and there are already likely to be two other wheel shots in if the other vote was anything to go by.

And I'm the exact opposite of Speedster.

I think the blown wall of white and the screaming PHOTOS sign detracts from the car too much.

The Jag rim is a very good shot - nice and crisp, great levels - but I'm a sucker for a Ferrari, particularly a 430 but a 360 ain't bad, either.

My heart says Ferrari, but artistically, which is what the calendar should be, I have to go with the Jag.

And then after posting I read this:

and there are already likely to be two other wheel shots in if the other vote was anything to go by.

Armed with knowledge the other vote, which I knew nothing about, I'd then likely go with the Ferrari, but I guess I should check out the other contenders before making a final say.

No F40air intake or drift car?

I'll go with the rim shot, nice crisp shot 👍

The Jag rim is gorgeous, but I'm inclined to agree with hfs that there are already too many detail shots. So I am going to go with the Ferrari. It's a very tough choice... I'd like to see something new (instead of the Porsche that I already had up on my PS3 for months), and the lighting is phenomenal.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Like the new shot, but of the three, the Porsche is the best shot for the calendar in my view. I prefer the other wheel on the calendar to this one, and I don't like the way that the Ferrari is truncated by the garage walls.

Porsche it is, for me.

Cheers for all the votes guys (no - not in that way, as it'd be difficult to vote on this poll and not vote on my shots).

Syntax - The F40 barely got any attention on the huge bigass poll, so I'm just interested on the front runners. Trust me - its the same with me and LongbowX's leaping Jag shot .

I think this poll is acually closer to what I was initially expecting, but the Jag is still in with a chance too - maybe I'll go Porsche any way (MAYBE), because it did cross my mind that we had two other wheel shots, but I didn't think they were this detailed (in terms of angle - not sharpness).

If you end up choosing the Porsche, I will change my entry. Can't have two Porsches... No pressure mind you, I'm fine with changing mine.

Why? I certainly think we can have two Porsches, and yours is a cracking shot.

I wouldn't mind that there were two Porsches if there more differentiation between them. These are very similar. Both Porsche 997 (GT3) Race cars.
