Okay, thanks! Here's my entry:
FINAL ENTRY
FYI: If I win (unlikely) I will not be able to give a prize car to the next winner, so I would have to have to have this prize car sent to the winner.

Awwwww, I would love to participate here too. But I'm away till the 28th!

I'm really looking forward to see an awesome poll when I'm back from my vacation. Have fun guys!
Thats a great theme 👍
 
It feels like the entries so far hardly have taken any editing at all, so here's my attempt to change that a bit.

F I N A L / E N T R Y

Charging down the streets of Rome. In style.



Please click for the full size, it looks so much better in the 3840x2160 version.

Lightbox.

I don't have any dedicated editing software and wouldn't know how to use it anyway, so the only thing I do to my photos (maybe) is crop them.

I did edit mine, made the sky a bit more vibrant and added a slight bit of noise, but I didn't want to go over the top and ruin the photo as I have done so much in the past, as to be honest, I'm not very good at editing at all :lol:

Nice entry by the way 👍

No, it wasn't really directed to you (or beeblebrox for that matter) in that sense, I'm sorry if I made it sound like that. I generally meant that there was more room for editing work, and I'm fully aware that it takes a while to get to know the software. I'll just say that I suggest people to just try and download GIMP. It's fairly easy to get to know after a while, just colour balance, saturation and such. I think people ought to try. And I know yours is edited in some way, I can't see a watermark at least. :sly: And about the part marked in bold, your 2.0 entry for the Road vs Race theme disagrees. :lol:
It wasn't edited to the full degree, but it was in my eyes an improvement ti the unedited one (you had that one in your Photostream, right?).

And finally, thanks. :)

Thanks, it's alright, I just thought it was directed at me :lol: yeah, I am still learning how to use GIMP, so some of my entries haven't been great to say the least... Although I was pretty happy with the Race vs Road one :)

And you deserved it 👍

This is my first attempt at a CCCL competition, and I am no good at editing. I'm going to play around with it a bit more, but until I'm confident all I'll do is crop, resize, maybe add some shading, that's all though.
 
Final Entry

Rome2 by reverand33, on Flickr​

I really like how much detail carried into the reflection on this one, and got to say, A Lot of great entries so far. Looking forward to the voting. @anthaliscious nice use of the B&W.
