Great entries, although I'm a little dissapointed I didn't make it. Feedback welcome:

 

[Nato_777]

^^ That's a great shot - maybe the 787B featured a little too much???

 

[ThaSyn]

nice poll again.

 

[ashes619]

Great shots up there and I am glad to see my entry in among them.

rpanico14 - I believe the Mazda 787B is featured too much in that shot and the focus is on that car which was against the themes rules. Great shot though. 👍

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

Cool, I'm in. Great shots from everyone.

 

[rpanico14]

Ah my bad! I didn't see the post regarding the use of the 787B, good luck to all the poll entries anyway

What they say and what i say:

Sorry guys, i forgot to put it in the list.

But if know that i think, if i were to put the 787b, the only premium car, i'm afraid the entry would overflow with that car.

Yeah, it's part of the Group C Le Mans category but for balance and equal purpose.
So, no 787B for primary focus/shoots .

On the note, your entry would have get in easily!
I think there no flawes on that shoot.
I love it but still, it's against the rule.
Sorry bro.

 

[rpanico14]

Yeah no worries Zerox, it was my mistake. I think I can still use this photo in the 'official' comps so no great loss!

 

[bmxmitch]

Maaan, I would've had the perfect shot for this....just no time to work on it in the last days. But I love all Entries, great job everyone:tup:

And I think I know who took the first shot. No, I'm 100% sure

 

[Nato_777]

This is a great poll, needs to be bumped up again.

 

[ashes619]

This is a great poll, needs to be bumped up again.

It sure does.

 

[ThaSyn]

bump

 

[ashes619]

41 voters so far and only three votes separating the top 2.
I would love it if we could get over 50 voters this week.

 

[Solo]

Bring this back up to the top, I missed out on a good theme when I was away

I think we need to have people who use Flickr change the access their entries so no-one else can see them. I know who took the first, 6th and 10th entry. I use Flickr usually, but I'm using ImageShack when it comes to SS. But I guess I could just stop stalking everyone else's photostreams...

It's possible for anyone who really wants to find out who submitted what entry by searching any of the photo hosting sites. I would hope people would respect the spirit of the comp by not actively seeking out the identities though. I am certainly not accusing you of doing so FJ, as you say you usually browse the photostreams and of course you're bound to come across the odd photo you recognise from the poll, but if you've already voted before hand then it makes no difference anyway.
Speaking of voting... 12 hours to go and it's very close.

To keep it a proper secret santa could we also not restrict people from posting up "entry sent" in the thread?

Well done mate 👍

Can we have the big reveal now & see all the ones that didn't male the poll

 

[StoneyNUFC]

Congratulations Ashes 👍

 

[ashes619]

Thank you everyone, especially those that voted for me. It was a very close poll and I think CCShaft7 had the lead for most of the competition.

Now I have to think of a theme. I'm not the best at making them but hopefully I can think of something all of you will like.

Good luck in your future competitions. 👍

Now that the poll's over, I can say thanks for the vote

I though I had a winner this week, but oh well. I was going for the "premium" look.

 

[CCShaft7]

Nice one ashes 👍 that was close but a well deserved win for you mate. The silver lining is I'll be able to compete in your theme
and a big 👍👍 to everyone who voted for me, much appreciated.
