Honestly, five entries? We've got to get more participants in this week.
 
Been busy and/or away all weekend but will get an entry in if I find time on my lunch break today to edit something - though I won't have time to do a standard cleanup job sadly.
 
In fact... it's strange.

Maybe it's because is a standard car, despite being a 2.0 side.
I imagined this amount of entries for a standard car during a 1.0 week. Well, at least there is about 24 hours left.
 
Yeah I would have thought there'd be more entries than this also. I thought this car/track combo would go down well, I guess not. Sure it is a standard, but even so a clean up alone a good photo it does not make. (That came out a bit yoda like.)

You mean, pictures of standard cars don't need cleanups to look good?

Yeah thats pretty much what I'm saying. Sure it helps if it does look cleaned up but a good photograph is a good photograph regardless of cleanup. Well at least thats what I believe.
 
This is one of those standards that doesn't look too bad as it is anyway so a cleanup isn't that necessary and Autumn ring is a nice location too.

Edit: Here's my...
FINAL ENTRY

Well my job is made easier this time around, everyone makes poll. :)
 
No i just missed it

I won't get to post the poll for another 3 hours or so, so if you have an entry ready to go and as there are poll spaces available I am happy and I'm sure GPR would be too for you to post your entry within that time and it can be included. ;)

Great entries by everyone excluding myself. :sly: I felt quite attached to this week with the engaging conversations I had in here.
