[dice1998]

Oh sweet, i made it

 

[ashes619]

Man I need to get better at editing.

 

[dice1998]

Steeviee's tutorial really helped me out with my lighting, maybe that'd help you somewhat?

 

[vrajdeber]

I didn't made it.

Voted for "The Awakening"

I will check it out. 👍

 

[nanabu]

cheers zerox

i´ve voted for fishy´s one , we have the same car same spot but his shot is way better

 

[bmxmitch]

You already said it Fyshokid, that some will be disappointed not to be in there...well, I'am a bit!
But I won't complain, with those nice pictures every week it's extremely hard to get the judges taste everytime.

But just that I know it, what deranged you Fyshokid?
this was mine:



And c_f gets my vote! The colors in your shot are great again.👍
And a great overall poll....lot of variety in there. Well done guys

 

[ashes619]

I would of voted for your shot bmxmitch. It is a fantastic shot and could of easily beaten half of the shots up there.

 

[bmxmitch]

thanks ashes!

 

[andrea]

WHAT- how did you not make the cut with that entry??
That's an outrage!

Massa gets my vote then.

 

[Jacob]

Yay, I made it.
And I got some votes, thanks guys. My vote went to the RX-7 at the top.

 

[Bram Turismo]

2 votes so far. I think I remembered why I usually don't enter competitions. Do people even view the full sized versions of entries these days? There doesn't seem to be a lot of appreciation for people putting a lot of effort into an entry.

 

[Pebb]

I thought, I had a chance to make the poll this week.

In my view the composition could of been better, even if the lighting is good.

 

[Moglet]

I really liked your entry Bram, and voted for it. The lighting and camera angle are superb and the composition does a good job of leading your eye to all the right places.

As for what TVR&FF said, if we're going to discuss composition then how come nobody has mentioned the sodding great billboard on the top left of the R8 photo? I saw that before I saw the car!

 

[WeShallNverStop]

Ouuuu, great shots guys!

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Hey! I made the poll!
Alot of good entries as always. The "M3 GTS" got my vote. The coloring and composition really captured my attention.

And it's a well executed photo of a car going down the cork screw. 👍

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Thanks [Nor]MclarenF1!

I'm surprised I'm part of the 3-horse race of first-day votes - I didn't think the M3 had much of a stand-out factor compared to Moglet's brooding XKR and ceiling_fan's sliding R8, past one of America's most famous corners. I guess this means I really don't understand the voting turnouts half the time

Speaking of - Klaus and Bram both deserve more votes, as their pictures have stood out to me since they posted them. Remember to full-size, people!

 

[incendius]

Wow, I have never gotten so many votes! Thank you to all who have voted for me:tup: I'm not that great at making super realistic looking photos so I usually go with something a little different. Glad it paid off this time!

 

[Dolp]

Was busy this week and didn't take time to vote on this poll but if I did it, you sure get my vote. And I also don't understand the voting week after week.

 

[dice1998]

I have the only entry with 0 votes!!



👍

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Thanks Dolp - that would've put me only one vote behind CF, and that much closer to a sweep of PMC and 2.0 (which, I don't think has happened yet in GT5, with one person winning both in a single week). A well-deserved win for him, though! 👍

A good poll, and every shot deserved to be there (yes, even Dice's )

 

[ceiling_fan]

Thanks for the votes everyone! Stay tuned for next week's theme

 

[rpanico14]

Congrats ceiling_fan!
