Amazing poll this week

 

[Jacob]

I knew I wouldn't make it, but where's Dolp?
Also, a stunning poll. A bit surprised to see who made it, but still great shots.
Also, TW got my vote.

Don't worry about me not making the poll, I know why I didn't make it. Great looking poll. There are a few that feel quite dark but hey, it's the judges choice, not mine.

Oh, and GrandGTM, if your going to whine at least provide a link to your shot so we know what your talking about.

 

[nanabu]

i made it ? wooow

 

[Wallbreaker]

Outstanding poll, really. Glad I made it But sooooooo difficult to decide who to vote for

 

[Jacob]

I wasn't so keen on your shot. It was a great shot, but would you look at the competition? I'm having a bit of a problem with your signature, it does kinda take up a bit too much place.

 

[rpanico14]

My shot didn't make the poll? you have got to be kidding me.

Your shot was good, it ticked all the boxes, but there were other photos that did that too. In the end I got the photos down to about 30 and the final 10 photos I cut were purely subjective.

Amazing poll this week

Again one of the final photos to be cut, my only criticism is the 'patchy/texturised effect' on the road (looks a bit like camera noise). I'm not too sure how to describe it, but it didn't really add anything for me.

Tangled Webs Entry is simply amazing!!!

Incredible poll. And I'm so stocked to be in there too....also as second place right now

Alright thanks for the feed back 👍 it's actually the grass on the side of the track

 

[Vintage_Green]

No worries, and for the record I'd never have worked that out!

 

[Fido_le_muet]

This has got to be the best poll ever.
But not for long with the BMW poll coming in a few hours
My vote goes to TW as well 👍

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

Nanabu's shot is clearly the best IMO. Surprised it's not leading in votes.

 

[nanabu]

but cheers mate

 

[bmxmitch]

I'm surprised that you're surprised!?

 

[ThaSyn]

Nanabu's shot is clearly the best IMO. Surprised it's not leading in votes.

Same feeling here. It's got something really artistic around it. I love it

 

[nanabu]

... this time i didn´t bothered too much because all the others did an amazing job , usually the competetion goes up on monday i try to post my first try on wednesday latest , and then i wait 2-3 days and see what the others have done so faar, if i believe i can keep up with the skill level i post another shot but if its way out of my league like this week i just dont bother anymore , thats why iam really suprised .

For the person who criticized my signature. It doesn't really take up too much. As for composition and lighting it's a better choice than at least two of the entries picked in the poll above. I know this because I'm a photographer I do this IRL not just on GT5. I only decided to do it because it looked so much fun and there is so much talent here on the boards. But clearly a couple of photos in the poll were picked without any regard to exposure or composition basics.

So you'd forgive me if I seemed a bit surprised at this poll. Many great shots up there, but not all of them. Good luck to everyone this week.

 

[rpanico14]

Well as I said before, from a technical view point I can't really fault your photo, however subjectively I can. There's a bit of red tinge around braking markers, and the tunnel in GT5 isn't particularly well rendered. And also I think you'd forgive me for not being an expert; I do these comps as a hobby and photography certainly isn't my forte in life.

 

[Raphaele]

An amazing collection of outstanding photography in this poll!
Hard to believe that the Bug is just a GT5 standard car.
Having made the poll feels like winning this time...

 

[20832]

Didn't made the poll.
I'm disappointed.

 

[Wallbreaker]

That´s my problem with the comps and polls and all the stuff. I think like a race driver, I want to be first everywhere and I hate losing. So I don´t feel the same way. But for everyone else, you´re right about that

 

[Raphaele]

Like race drivers, we never shall give up.👍

 

[StoneyNUFC]

Not surprised i didn't make the poll. I was happy with my effort than people just kept raising the bar and i just couldn't find a shot that kept up

The red tinge was just me being lazy. As for the tunnel, the rules did not specify which part of the track to shoot, weather it was well rendered or not is not really my fault because that's how it is in the game. That being said it's still a lot better than 2 or 3 of the choices above in the poll.

So basically the choices made in these competitions are down to personal taste and preference.

Good to know.

Erm... good to know you think your own entry is great and at least better than 2 or 3 other pics. But, fact is that someone else can have another opinion about that. Sometimes you make it to the poll, sometimes you don't make it. That depends on the quality of your shot and the way it is perceived by the judge. So ofcourse these competitions are down to personal taste and preference. That statement is like concluding the Pope's a catholic. I checked your website and I think you make some very nice car-shots, so there's no doubt you'll make the poll another time.

 

[Wallbreaker]

Can´t believe we now have the same discussion about the judge's opinion we had months ago...

By the way: GO MITCH 👍

 

[SMfan]

I cannot choose...
