Further explanation of the theme, in the words of our Week 15 Winner Moglet:

Smash your cars up and show me the damage. I'll be looking for good compositions
this week, so snapshots of a dented bumper won't necessarily make it!

(Multiple cars allowed in shot as long as the main focus of the image is damaged)


CARS: Any
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTO TRAVEL: Er... obviously not!
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: See above

I see a bunch of rally cars in this competition's future.

The F1's damage should be more realistic, an F1 car in the air would be awesome.
 
I think franz might enter this week, because there was some crashes in my previous photo shoot.
 
Uhhh...err....:nervous:..maybe i shouldn't have rushed....:ill:...buut...

You stole my door idea!! :grumpy:

In all seriousness though, very nice pic 👍
 
Credits to Moglet, not for winning that much, but for coming up with interesting themes all the time 👍

I better come up with something really great this time, with Moglet out of this competition and me saving time by not having to enter the Photohop competition :P
 
Who says mechanical damage isn't good enough!? ;)

FINAL ENTRY




Edit: I was going for the look of the car breaking down by the side of the road due to numerous crashes, tried to make it look as if it was bellowing with smoke!

RUN TO THE HILLS (da da da da, da da da da, daaaa) RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! (da da da da, da da da da, daaaaa) etc, etc.

I will probably change this before the end of the week but I thought you'd get a kick out of it anyway. Enjoy.

p.s. yes he does have his tongue sticking out​

Already spend quite some time on this one. All the damage done to my Stingray after a couple of laps of hard crashing was a loose grille, the front bumper got a little bend of my Zonda R and all that happened to my 2007 F1 was a little bend front wing. And when you take pictures of it, it looks like no damage is done :P

Well, I keep on trying, eventually I will find a nice car to damage properly :P
 
Final Entry


It might look like minor damage, but being an Aston, damned if that's not going to be expensive to repair :nervous:
