Where is the poll Nato?

 

[Nato_777]

I didn't make it again this week (not surprised though - another quality poll) so here was my entry...

Any comment Steelersjazz? I'm always looking to learn from my poor performances 👍

^ Soloracer, your photo, as Nato´s one, were painful to cut because i would have loved to see some variety in the poll and some standard cars. But in the end i had to be honest and pick the photos that i liked more.
In your photo, the car looks really nice, something difficult to achieve in a standard. But I cannot separate my eyes from those mountains and those rocks that seem to me ugly. I find the blurred people distracting too. That´s the only fault in my opinion in your photo, as i like the colours and the light too.

 

[Solo]

Alright thanks I really appreciate the feedback, I did think the mountains may be a little bit much in the background

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

Muscle cars + Toscana + Sunset = sex

@Soloracer - I loved your shot. Niggles aside I would have voted for your for two reasons. 1.) Your picture has the broadest spectrum of colour. No warm or cool filters here, just bright, bold colours. 2.) It has PUNCH! It just has a bold approach that I just love. No knock on everyone else but there is just nothing wimpy about yours. It's a hard thing to explain but it has to do with letting the car breathe; with allowing the background to interact with the subject and the way it just grabs you. Awesome job man.

Wow thanks I do like going for big bold colours as you may notice if you have ever looked in my gallery lately. I really do appreciate the feedback and good feedback is always awesome thanks again. I understand what you mean abit about the interaction.

None the less everyone its a really strong poll 👍

 

[ashes619]

Not a bad looking poll. Looks like it is only going to be between two shots though.

 

[Hbc Hades]

Didn't make the cut with my picture unfortunately

Steelersjazz, I have the same question as soloracer: Any feedback on my photograph? Seeing as it's the first competition I entered I'd like some feedback to improve!

Great pictures in the poll, great work everyone!

 

[jakku]

some great shots were picked i can see i should have went with a premium!

any criticism on my entry steelers? can do better this week!

 

[ZEROX]

This should be at the top.

 

[nanabu]

Nato_777 is putting sooo much effort into this competition , i wonder how much longer does this take to be a "Official Competition" -_-

 

[ZEROX]

Indeed. It's been awhile being unofficial.
We also get alot of entry for this...

 

[ashes619]

41 voters already. I think there will be a lot of voters this week.

 

[PureLogic]

It'll get more votes if it were stickied I'm sure.

 

[ZEROX]

Well, for the mean time...let's just bump it up.

 

[ashes619]

Well, for the mean time...let's just bump it up.

Now that's something I can do.

 

[ZEROX]

Now that's something WE can do.

Corrected.

 

[steelersjazz]

@Hbc Hades: i like how you captured some action in your photo, the movement of the car is well represented. But the picture is too dark for my taste, and the car is too centered in the photo, you don´t take any advantage of the background. Don´t worry, i think you will do fine with a little more practice, i like your style.

@jakku: the use of the miniature filter in your picture is what i don´t like, when viewed in full size there are lots of banding and doesn´t have any sensation of speed. I like the composition though and the car looks very nice too.

 

[ThaSyn]

to bump or not to bump, that's the question

 

[ashes619]

We might end up having a tie here.

 

[ashes619]

I feel 45 votes isn't enough. So this poll deserves to be at the top.

 

[ThaSyn]

honestly, it's about time this competition becomes an official one

 

[Nato_777]

Maybe you should all start petitioning SlipZ for an official recognition. (sorry SlipZ if you now get bombarded with PM's for this )

 

[ashes619]

This could do with another "bump". I really want to have at least 50 votes every week for this competition.

 

[Nato_777]

Well we got 50 votes, could use a few more yet though - this one's tight at the top.

 

[Solo]

Maybe get a few more voters? This is a close poll and a good one too!
