Winner: Week 69 - Theme chosen by Syntax Error

bathurstcrompton1red.jpg



THEME: Their words: "Dark.

The shot doesn’t have to be dark, it just has to convey a sense of darkness. For example, the shot could be taken at night or there are strong shadows across the car, or the car is black or the car could just look a little evil…. Well you get the picture, it is basically however you want to interpret it…. Go wild!"

Thank you for taking time to read this and I will hope to get a good number of entries on the 17th of March.


 
Sweetshop, I think you used that one already.

However the front view that everyone said they liked better (on your gallery) hasn't been used yet. :P

I have indeed but it isn't against the rules to use it again. Plus I feel this one suits the theme better than the frontal. If I can't use it however I have a few other photos to choose between.
 
It probably should be. It's not really fair if somebody has a really great shot that could keep winning over and over.

Great theme. I spotted an old 911 with a 935 conversion and took a few shots today. Have to edit them and see if anything worthy results.
 
Wow! I could have sworn that rule was in place.

Terribly sorry.:guilty:

Haha it's alright. I had to check through them to see it was ok.

I think this is one of those moments where we encounter something that isn't explicitly in the rules, but goes against the spirit of the competition. Sort of a unwritten rule. But, odder things have happened, I mean, we had a model car competing against full-size machines....

You have to be careful when writing the rules to not make loopholes: although I am not the one who wrote most of rules, I do take responsibility for them.

I will add this to the rules though, as I agree I don't think you should be allowed to enter something more than once. Next week this will come into effect, this weeks stays how it is.

If its of any consolation, I'd still like to be able to enter shots that have been seen in my gallery but not yet entered, as while it is boring not to get new things, sometimes its all I have.

Haha, it's not. :P (I'm not even sure how that's supposed to console me. :lol:) The rules will be that you can't enter the same photo twice (or...more than twice) in the competition, not simply that we've seen it before. So you have nothing to fear.

Probably the only one of the set that fits the editing rules.

Mm, didn't really have anything above average for this, but even still an entry is an entry right?

The last three shots are all impressive, however NISM0_SKYLINE I think you stole the show,that is a wicked shot 👍
 
I agree, NISM0 that is sweeeet.

Anyway, I will close this up tomorrow around the time it would usually close. I'm not up to closing it today, really. With a few hours sleep, assignments and exams all combined lately, I just don't have the energy to. So, my apologies.
